The Finances of Vermont (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Finances of Vermont
Yet the growth of manufacturing and commercial activ ity will not, it would seem, for a long time at least, greatly affect the distinctive character of Vermont. Hence the political history of the commonwealth is instructive in its bearing upon the future. The towns as municipal bodies have, on the whole, controlled that history, because each town has had a representative in the lower branch of the General Assembly. Indeed, from the beginning of inde pendent government until 1836, there was but one clearly defined legislative body, although the governor's council did as a matter of fact exercise legislative functions. In that year a Senate was added, and the members of the new body were distributed to the counties on the basis of population. But the small towns, by numerical prepon derance in the House of Representatives, continued to give the agricultural element of the population a disproportion ate representation. The largest city, Burlington having a population of has one member of the House; the town of Somerset, with a population of 27, also has one member.
