The Municipal Manual PDF Download

Excerpt from The Municipal Manual: A Description of the Constitution and Functions of Urban Local Authorities The difficulty of dealing with the subject in such a manner as to give the reader a clear view of the whole ground. Local government may be treated from many points of view - for example, area, or structure, or function. In any event, overlapping can hardly be entirely avoided. The method I have adopted has been to give a preliminary sketch of the constitution of the authorities responsible for the government of our towns, and then to classify their duties in a few large groups. The Acts of Parliament under which their powers are conferred are indicated in the footnotes. The latter will be useful to the student who desires further information than this book can afford.
