Book Description

Excerpt from A Compilation of the Laws of Illinois, Relating to Township Organization and Management of County Affairs: With Numerous Forms, and Notes of Instructions, Supported by Adjudicated Cases, Opinions of the Attorney General, and Rulings of the Auditor of Public Accounts A new feature of this compilation is the addition, in an Appendix, of a brief summary of the rules of parliamentary law, for the benefit of town meetings and boards of supervisors. Efficiency can never be expected in any deliberative body where parliamentary rules are disregarded. In. Other words, where such rules are not properly observed. Hence a study and proper understanding of these rules is necessary on the part of every member of the board of supervisors and every elector who ex peets to attend and take part in the town meeting. This feature there fore renders the book of increased value. The extent of the increase of matter from late legislation and decisions, is shown in the fact that over one hundred pages are necessarily added to, the present edition of this work, thereby increasing the size of the book nearly one-fourth from that of the former edition. The growth of our Township Organization system, which is now fully adjusted to our general statutes, has, at this time, reached that point that the laws bearing on that subject comprise a large portion of the statutes, embodying, among other subjects, in addition to the Township Organiza tion Act, Roads and Bridges, Drains and Ditches, Fences, Township In surance, Paupers, Revenue, Elections, and Regulation of Animals Run. Ning at Large, all tending still more to increase the necessity for a compilation of this kind in a separate volume, the utility of which is enhanced by the addition of notes and forms, rendering it a complete and convenient hand-book of the law on the subject embraced. The plan and scope of this compilation will be best understood by ref erence to the table of contents following.
