The Independent : Unified Government Legislation Signed into Law Approval of the Unified Government concept at referendum would effectively eliminate the ability of any community - such as Corolla, Moyock, and Grandy - within the county to form a municipal government through incorporation. County officials have expressed public opposition to Corolla's incorporation attempts, citing the potential of increased taxes, additional layers of government, and the potential of implementation of less restrictive ordinances in the new municipality. State legislators, Senator Marc Basnight (D-Dare), and Representative Bill Owens, stated publicly last year, that they would support the county bid for a "Unified Government", rather than support Corolla's bid for incorporation. www.nencnews.com /news/2005-05-20-unified.htm   (645 words)

Gary Brand Astrology Counties, townships, towns, and some other political subdivisions of the state are not strictly municipal corporations but are public quasi-corporations, sometimes defined as involuntary political or civil subdivisions of the state, created by general laws to aid in the administration of government (56 Am. Although subsequent incorporations in some states refer to the initial charter, in most states the only way to determine whether a particular incorporation is the earliest is by examining the laws of each legislative session of each territory, colony and state, a very time-consuming, but worthwhile and ongoing process. Most laws that incorporated municipalities individually or in groups were legally effective and in force from and after their passage or approval by the Governor. www.garybrandastrology.com /city/CitiesDatabank.html   (7707 words)

Chapter 7: POLITICAL ORGANIZATION In these states, and also in other states without such prohibitions, either the constitution of the state may prescribe the conditions under which a local area may become a municipality or else the general statutes applying to all conditions or classes of conditions prescribe the legal route to municipal incorporation. Today, twenty-four states have constitutions that forbid special laws granting charters of incorporation to municipalities. The issues of municipal politics in a council-manager city are more often relevant to city problems than are the issues in a mayor-council city because the manager, unlike the mayor, usually does not have direct connections with a political organization. www.grazian-archive.com /politics/PolOrganization/PO_C07.htm   (1362 words)

Section A Flight from Metropolitan Toronto Furthermore, the proportion of total municipal and school board spending by regional government subsidized by the province is not the lowest in Metro. Although the twelve municipalities were in dire need of expanded housing construction, lack of access to Lake Ontario for water supply and sewage treatment threatened to retard their growth and that of the Toronto area as a whole. Toronto’s manufacturing growth was based, in turn, on the presence of an affluent consumer market with the secure incomes of government officials at the core. www.isop.ucla.edu /profmex/volume2/4summer97/chap7.html   (728 words)

In Search of The "New Jerusalem": Slum Clearance in St. John's, 1921-1944 Consequently, the city's efforts to undertake any substantial expenditure in town planning and slum clearance were marked by acrimonious debate between the Newfoundland Government and the City Council as to whether St. John's could afford such improvements, a situation which Canadian municipalities by their very existence of full incorporation did not have to confront. Supported by both business and labour, this Committee wanted a slum clearance scheme immediately undertaken under the direction of a city-wide master plan and a housing program started with the help of money from the government along the lines of the 1938 Canadian National Housing Act. In anticipation of the improvements Council hoped to make in slum clearance once it had floated its own municipal bonds, Council brought Montreal town planner Frederick G. Todd to St. John's in late 1931 to help with the preparation of an official plan as provided for under the 1931 Municipal Act. www.ucs.mun.ca /~melbaker/JERUSALE.HTM   (245 words)

Gabriola Sounder News At this point it looks as if a form of governance beyond straight municipal incorporation might even be a possibility, which is what the Islands Trust's biggest fans have desired and, in fact, was called for by many in the Vote Rural - Vote No camp during the local municipal referendum in November. Minister of Community, Aboriginal & Women's Services (CAWS), Murray Coell, the MLA for Saanich North and the Islands, is freeing up funds and staff to create a discussion paper on improving government in the Islands Trust area, starting with Salt Spring. Some Gabriolans are wondering if the development at Mid-Island Co-op - which conforms to local bylaws - is what elected trustees and Vote Rural -Vote No forces had in mind in their well-organized and financed campaign to defeat municipal status and to preserve and protect rural Gabriola. www.soundernews.com /fullstory/EEplAFuEkuxrPPtDfx.shtml   (146 words)

The History of Whitehorse, Yukon Territory The city was incorporated in 1950; until that time there had been no elected or appointed municipal government. After incorporation, a mayor and four-member council were elected, and many functions which had been carried out by the Territorial government were handed over. Between 1902 and 1909 the Territorial government spent $45,000 on 36 miles of wagon roads in the area, and by 1909 the White Pass & Yukon Route had built a railway spur to the mines. www.yukonalaska.com /communities/whitehorsehist.html   (146 words)

International Law and the South African Constitution Although this provision ensures that Parliament will continue to play an active role in treaty-making, it is unfortunate that the realities of the bureaucratic process compelled the Constitutional Assembly to require an Act of Parliament, in addition to the resolution of ratification, for the incorporation of treaties into municipal law. The provisions of a treaty ratified by Parliament, but not incorporated into municipal law by Act of Parliament, that are `self-executing' become part of municipal law unless inconsistent with the Constitution or an Act of Parliament. Government departments required to scrutinize treaties before they were submitted to Parliament refused to present treaties to Parliament for ratification until they were completely satisfied that there would be no conflict between the provisions of the treaty and domestic law. www.ejil.org /journal/Vol8/No1/art4-02.html   (1409 words)

Municipal Democracy on Trial in St. John's, 1888-1898 Since a municipal election was scheduled to be held in January 1895, both levels of government agreed to postpone this for a year because of the financial crisis in Newfoundland. With his election, the Tories presented themselves as the champions of civic rights and the advocates of full incorporation "free from all political interference", (11) a position the Liberals had adopted in 1889 when the Tories controlled both the government and the council. Faced with a Liberal majority in the Assembly and beset with economic problems arising from the collapse of the colony's two banks on "Black Monday", 10 December 1894, the Goodridge Government resigned on 12 December 1894 in favour of an administration led by a St. John's lawyer, Daniel Joseph Greene. www.ucs.mun.ca /~melbaker/trial.htm   (1377 words)
