A Treatise on the Law Relating to Municipal Corporations in England and Wales (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law Relating to Municipal Corporations in England and Wales
Why not, then, in a Consolidation Act have made it clear what is legal expenditure by a town council? Nothing can be so unfair, or prejudicial to the public service, as uncertainty as to what acts of a governing body are legal. No one cares to take upon himself the thankless duty of serving the public with a halter round his neck.
It is hoped that this Act will be followed by an Amendment Act dealing with many questions affecting the good government of our towns, and dealing with them, not in the jealous and suspicious manner of former times, but in the just and generous spirit that the upright, judicious, and careful exercise of the trusts, already reposed in town councils, demands from Parliament.
