Report of the Council at the opening of the twenty-ninth session of the Society

Abstract

Three out of the six ordinary meetings were devoted to the important subject of Local Government. Mr. Joseph T. Pim read a paper on ?Municipal Government and Taxation?, a matter of growing importance, having regard to the great increase of duties cast on municipal authorities and the large expenditure of money necessarily entrusted to them. The main suggestion of the paper was an equal division of taxation and representation between owners and occupiers.
