Excerpt from An Outline of Local Government and Local Taxation: In England and Wales2. We think that it must be apparent that the existing local organization is in many of its parts complicated and unequal to present requirements. The increase in population and in the requirements of the time has outgrown the capacity of local machinery created for more limited objects. The greatly increased duties thrown upon local bodies, and their powers to tax and incur debt, make it necessary that the local organization should be simplified and strengthened. In particular, the amount of local indebtedness has during the past ten or fifteen years assumed alarming proportions, it is annually growing at a rate which is out of proportion to the rate of growth of the property on which it is imposed, and, if much longer continued, it may result in an oppressive burden.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
