	City status in Sweden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Apart from being of a certain size, there were several requirements that a town needed to fulfil to be granted city charter, although the criteria tended to vary throughout the centuries, and were often at the discretion of the Riksdag or the monarch.
		Exceptions would be when a city was founded under Royal supervision, in which case the city would often bear the name of the monarch, such as Kristianstad or Karlskrona (named after kings Christian IV of Denmark and Karl IX of Sweden).
		The cities with a population exceeding 15,000 in the year 1900 were: Stockholm (300,624), Gothenburg (130,609), Malmö (60,857), Norrköping (41,008), Gävle (29,522).

	Cities of the Philippines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cities are in the same hierarchical level as municipalities, but under the Local Government Code of 1991, cities are given special treatment in terms of bigger share from the internal revenue allotment (IRA) which forms part of the city's budget.
		Cities, like municipalities, are composed of barangays and are governed by elective officials such as Mayor as Local Chief Executive, Vice-Mayor, and councilors as well as appointive officials heading the different local offices under them.
		Examples are Tarlac City in Tarlac province, and Palayan City, in Nueva Ecija province, and the City of San Fernando in Pampanga.

	White Opinion No. MW-113
		Chartered cities and towns are embraced within the purview of this article, and the mere fact of incorporation does not exclude them from the protection against epidemic diseases given the commissioners court to other parts of their respective counties.
		City of San Antonio, 60 S.W. 426 (Tex. 1901), the Supreme Court noted that statutes then in force made all county and municipal quaranting actions subject to such rules and regulations as the governor or state health officer might prescribe, and that local health officers were bound to obey them.

	Local Government (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Additionally, the charters were now to supersede all laws inconsistent with them, not just all "special laws." As the number of chartered cities grew, so too did questions regarding their status in relation to state government.
		The proponents of county charters saw the measure as a "logical growth from the successful administration of \'charter cities'." They pointed out that although the delegates in 1879 had believed that the "uniform system" of county government would be "impregnable to the assault of those demanding special laws," such was not the case.
		City government was also strengthened; the revised article allowed all cities, not just those with populations greater than 3,500, to adopt charters and allowed a majority vote, instead of a two thirds vote, to repeal a charter.

	Albany: An Early American City
		The so-called Dongan Charter incorporated Albany, fixed its boundaries, set-up a municipal government, and endowed the city corporation with a number of special rights and privileges.

		The city hall was located near the water on Court Street; the Dutch Reformed Church set in the middle of the city's main intersection; a smaller Lutheran Church which often was without a pastor; and a more imposing wooden fort located up the hillside and overlooking the community.

	Employment & Labor Law Professional Information Center: California High Court Hears Oral Arguments In Long Beach ...
		As one of the 107 chartered cities in the state, Long Beach asserted that it had sovereign authority to make such a decision regarding a "municipal affair." California's Department of Industrial Relations disagreed, asserting that prevailing wages are required if any public money is used for charter city projects.
		The court also ruled that the city's status as a charter city did not exempt the project from the prevailing wage law because the animal shelter "is not strictly a municipal affair and the state's prevailing wage law addresses matters of statewide concern" (49 CLR 758, 7/30/03).
		The city argued that it was not a public work, but also said that even if it was, the prevailing wage law did not apply because the project was strictly a "municipal affair" of a charter city under the state constitution.
