Book excerpt: Excerpt from Local Government in the Maritime Provinces Out of the territory east of the Penobscot and south of the St. Lawrence were carved the three Maritime Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. The F reneh called the district Audio, and the Scottish King of England, in his grant to Sir William Alexander in 1601, Nova Scotia. The Isle of St. Jean (now Prince Edward Island) was granted a separate government in 1769, but was not renamed until 1799 after the visit of Prince Edward. The Loyalists on the river St. John, exasperated by delays in the issue of land patents and by apparent neglect, demanded and got separation from Nova Scotia in 1784 and in the name of the new province the House of Brunswick was honoured.' In 1784 the island of Cape Breton was granted a separate government, but was reannexed to Nova Scotia in 1820.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Local Government The advantages of this division of the labour of public administration between central and local authorities are obvious. The tasks undertaken by the modern state are so great and various that the attempt to accomplish them all by means of cen tral departments and professional officials alone is doomed inevitably to failure; all experience shows that sooner or later a breakdown is certain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Principles of Local Government: Delivered at the London School of Economics, Lent Term 1897 These being the facts of the case, the only question that remains to justify the classification adopted in the lectures is, whether such conditions as these should properly represent local government from the point of view of first principles, or whether the two types should be reduced to one type; whether, in Short, there can be a dual system, and, if not, whether local government of the historical type Should give way to local government of the legislative type.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Town Government in Rhode Island The application of the comparative method to the study of early American history has within recent years been attended with results of the most substantial value. The scattered communities along the Atlantic coast which, since 1776, have been united in a common bond Of government had their origin in widely diverse sets of conditions. While, therefore, their development has been Characterized by institutions bear ing a general analogy to each other, there is sufficient indivi duality and local differentiation to be Observed in any one instance, to render a somewhat close comparison of their points of resemblance and difference extremely serviceable. It is plain, moreover, that, the farther down in the scale of local division we can go, the more fruitful will be the study of these local institutions. While, then, the nation is made up of the several States, Once colonies or provinces, - and While the States are made up Of counties; we need to notice that, descending still farther, the counties are made up Of towns, or, as in some States, parishes. We may pass, for our present purpose, any con sideration of the counties2 in connection with this question.

Download or read book English Local Government from the Revolution to the Municipal Corporations ACT written by Sidney Webb and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Local Government, From the Revolution to the Municipal Corporations Act: The Parish and the County It may be of interest in this connection to give here a short survey of the materials. The indispensable foundation for any study of local governing bodies is an investiga tion of their own official records. We have found the manuscript minutes of the Parish Vestries and the primitive accounts of the parish officers - sometimes dating back four and even five centuries - a storehouse of facts and figures, and deserving both of more careful preservation and of more extensive publication than they have yet been favoured with. The voluminous Order Books and Sessions Papers of the Courts of Quarter Sessions in the different counties constitute precious materials for the social historian, whilst the scantier records of Petty and Special Sessions, and the manuscript diaries of Justices of the Peace, yield even more intimate knowledge than the formal records of the larger bodies. The Rolls of those Manors which still continued to do Local Government work go far to elucidate the manuscript minutes of the innumerable Courts and assemblies of which the Municipal Corporations of the period were made up. We broke ground that was quite new to us when we explored the proceedings of the Courts of Sewers, the Street Commissioners, the Turnpike Trustees, and the Incorporated Guardians of the Poor. To go through these local archives, all of which were indispensable to our task, has involved many a sojourn in provincial centres from Newcastle to Plymouth, and journeys innumerable into the remotest corners of England and Wales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Local Government in England, Vol. 1 of 2 English Constitution secures him a lasting monument in the German school of political science; though his exposition of the modern English State is proved erroneous in many and important points, though his theory of Self Government is shown to be one great mistake, though his. Influence on German constitutional doctrine and law appears to have been rather unfavourable to their progressive development. Gneist's theories, which are expounded and criticised in the third and last part of this book, must be regarded as fruit on the tree of the politico-metaphysical speculation of Hegel and Lorenz von Stein; and not less as the consequence of a certain doctrinairism, which is peculiar to Gneist in common With the Whole famous historical school of the German science of law to which he belongs. It is the aim and purpose of the following pages to give, in contradiction to those methods, a realistic view of the evolution of English local government generally, and especially of its modern structure in law and practice.

Download or read book English Local Government written by Sidney Webb and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Local Government: The Story of the King's Highway At the beginning of the year 1913 the Story of the King's Highway - an account of how, in England and Wales, the roads have actually been made and managed, from the earliest times down to the present day - may claim a certain topical interest. The advent on the roads of the automobile and the motor omnibus is producing effects, both on public opinion and on administration, which are curiously parallel to those produced, three centuries ago, by the coming in of the carriage and the waggon. The "New Users" of the roads in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, whose aggressions on the pedestrians and on the road surface were made the subject of persistent complaint in their day, are now themselves resenting the quite analogous aggressions of the "New Users" of the roads in the twentieth century. A hundred years ago, as our eighth chapter relates, the country was saved by "Pontifex Maximus Telford" and "Macadam the Magician." We do not find ourselves able to foretell the name of our twentieth-century deliverer, nor even the message that he will bring, or the office that he will hold! We limit our suggestions or predictions to the last two pages. The Story of the King's Highway seems to us worth telling as a study in administration. And, if we mistake not, it has an interest even for the general reader, unconcerned with "problems." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Local Government and Taxation written by William Rathbone and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-13 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Local Government and Taxation: A Few Suggestions for Organization and Improvement We are not without authority for believing that the subject of Local Government and Taxation will, at an early date, be brought before Parliament with a view to legislation. Mr. Gladstone's Government, had they remained in office, would have met Parliament pledged to bring forward, during the past Session, a measure of reform; and the present Administration has given emphatic expression to its sense of the shortcomings of our present system, Sir Stafford Northcote having, in his Budget speech of the 17th of April, summed up its defects under three heads: It is said, he observes, in the first place, that there are Imperial services which are charged exclusively or in undue proportion on local resources. It is said, in the second place, that the area of rating is not fair, and that many classes of property, including the very important class of personalty, are exempted from the burdens which are borne for the benefit of all kinds of property, the owners of personal property among the rest. And there is also a third complaint, coming, perhaps, from rather different quarters from those from which we hear most of these complaints made - viz., that our system of Local Taxation is bad and uneconomical, because we have a bad system of management, a bad system of administration, and an improper division of the country into local districts. I think, Sir Stafford Northcote adds, that there is truth in all these complaints. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural Municipalities and the Reform of Local Government: An Outline of a Scheme of Local England and Wales It may be worth while recalling that the aggregate budget of local authorities stands second only to that of the National Government. The returns for the year ending 25th March, 1884, show that the income of the local authorities of England and Wales, for that year, from all sources, was of which the amount levied in rates was and the amount raised by loans 3. The expenditure was and at the end of the year the outstanding loans amounted to These figures alone are sufficient to bring home to us the magnitude of the work of our Local Government. Amongst matters of general public importance which can hardly be considered apart from the question of Local Government, the necessity of a reform of local taxation is generally admitted, and there are now before the country proposals for allotting a part of the national taxes in relief of local expenditure, for reducing the charges on real pro perty and for apportioning the payment of rates between the landlord and tenant of agricultural land, for establishing a system of free elementary education, for establishing free libraries and other similar public institutions, for dealing with the allotment question and for creating a peasant proprietory, for giving to local elective bodies or to a direct popular vote the control of the sale of intoxicating drinks, and many others, none of which can be properly dealt with except in connection with the reform of Local Government.
