Book excerpt: Excerpt from The City Government of Boston Teutonic origin, adopted by people who, under similar circum stances, had worked out a practical system Of local self government. Although Boston was not for some years the most populous town in the colony, it was from the beginning the centre of its political and religious life. In the development of its local government it occupied somewhat the same relation to the other towns in the colony that London occupied, between the twelfth and eighteenth centuries, to the large towns of Eng land.1 The rights which the freemen of Boston claimed and exercised in the management Of their local affairs, the legisla tion which they procured from time to time with a view to promote their local interests, formed the precedents for similar action on the part of the freemen in other communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from City Government in Boston: Its Rise and Development This scheme of municipal government, though complicated, was novel and ingenious, and well calcu lated to allay the opposition of those classes which had opposed the previous plans for incorporation. It seems to have excited but little Opposition. On the other hand, it aroused but little enthusiasm or popular favor, notwithstanding its lofty titles of Intendant and Municipality, its combination of the names of town and city, its compromising appeal to the existing officials, and its bid to the mechanics and artisans for their support. We were fortunately saved from its adoption by vote of the town, though by a bare majority of thirty-one in a total of eighteen hundred and seventy-one votes. It is, however, remarkable that a scheme like this was proposed by a committee in which were John Phillips, Josiah Quincy, Ebenezer T. Andrews, George Blake, and men of a like char acter, and was allowed to come so near acceptance without a more active opposition of intelligent and sagacious citizens.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remarks on Supplying the City of Boston With Pure Water IN the recent canvass for the election of city officers, I was, in several papers, charged by name, in connection with other candidates for Aldermen, with being Opposed to supplying the city with water.

They will, I trust, not only show that I was misrepresented, but will serve also to show my fellow-citizens how far I deem that public opinion has been misled, and the public interest been overlooked, in this water-movement. Whether the evil can be remedied, must depend upon the good judgment and sound discretion of the City Government.

They are paying taxes in the city. I think that it would be in the best interests of the City to award the contract to that firm. Chairman: Mr. Tierney, might I say that I think it would also be in the best interests of the City of Bos ton to award it to the per son who resided in the City of Boston, but'i am just wondering how we would be affected legally under the provisions of this chap ter, which I have not read or studied. Perhaps you have. I mean, could we do that? Could we do it?
