Nove Jer Jrd. is/o '' ''' THOMAS S. SHBNSTON. PREFACE r tbs In presenting this little work to the Public the compiler begs lenvo to «xplnin the reasons that have induced liirn to assume the responsibility of its publication. The compiler earlj^ expei-ienced, as Distiict Councillor, the veiy gi-ent inconvenience of not being able on the instant, to turn to some particular section or provision of the Act, in order to solve a doubt or confirm an opinion. Since that period, moreover, the Statutes upon which our Municipal Corporations depend, have become much more voluininouB and complex. The present Municipal Act alone contains 330 long sections and sub-sections, and occupies no less than 80 pages in the printed Statutes. The Members of our rural Municipalities are, with great propriety, chiefly chosen from amongst the industrious classes of the people. It is too much to expect (even if they had the Statutes) that they will either have leisure or an inclination to study into the long and tiresome details of the Acts, until all the distinct provisions are imprinted on the memory. With respect to the contents and arrangement a brief examination will, I trust, be sufficient to convince any one that the work affords a safe guide and should be considered an indispensable companion to every Municipal Officer. The work contains a complete digest of the Municipal Act, the Muni* cipal Council Amended Act, and all the Sections of these Acts are briefly quoted from two to ten times, under r- wards of one hundred and fifty distinct heads, most carefully and h.i; abetically arranged, and such portions of the School, Assessment, Jur,/ and Tavern License Acta as impose any duty upon any Municipal officer, and the reader may rest assured that all the information contained in these Acts is fully givea under their respective heads. Notwithstanding the work is contained in a small compass, it has cost the compiler a good deal of labour, thought and care, and he now humbly commits it to the parties whose convenience it is intended to sei-ve, confident a work, which will save an incalculable amount cf time and labour, and numberless mistakes and errors, will be properly appreciated.
