Excerpt from Indiana Municipal Law: The Law Applicable to Cities and Towns in Indiana; Controlling Their Incorporation, Organization and Government as Contained in the Constitutional and Statutory Law of the State and Federal and State Court Decisions The general act for the incorporation of towns was passed in 1852, that for cities generally in 1867, and those for the larger cities in 1891, 1893 and 1899. In addition to these, other acts relating to the sub ject have been passed in great number. Legislation upon the subject has become complicated and confusing; and judicial decisions based upon statutes and involving municipal questions have become numer ous and frequently conflicting. In many instances there is but an apparent conflict in the decisions - the result of changes in the laws by repeal, amendment, or new enactment. It has become a great labor to ascertain and apply the law; and in view of the present and growing importance of the subject, the presentation of all the law thereon in orderly, classified and compact form has been deemed necessary. With the consent of the owners of the copyrights, I have made free use of the syllabi of the Indiana Supreme and Appellate Court Reports, Burns' Revised Statutes 1894, and Supplement 1897, includ ing annotations, Burns' Indiana index-digest, Ripley's Digest, Black's Digest and Woollen's Digest. I gratefully acknowledge my indebtedness to the authors of the several works mentioned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
