I. LEGAL STATUS. 



For comparison of the provisions of the state constitutions relating 

 to municipal corporations, see F. J. Stimson's American Statute Law, 

 Boston, 1SS6, vol. I. articles 34, 37 and 50. Note the classification 

 of municipalities in Ohio. On the relation of municipalities to the 

 states, consult the chapter on "The Grades of Municipal Govern- 

 ment'" in Judge T. ^L Cooley's Constitutional Limitations, 6th ed., 

 Boston, 1890, and a short chapter at the close of the same author's 

 Principles of Constitutional Law. Judge J. F. Dillon's Treatise on 

 the Law of Municipal Corporations, 4th ed., 2 vols., Boston, 1S90, 

 is the standard authorit}' on the subject. Note the introductory his- 

 torical sketch. A new text-book on the Law of Municipal Corpora- 

 tions, by Chas. F. Beach. Jr.. has been recently issued by Houghton, 

 Mifflin & Co. Reference may also be made to Judge Dillon's Law of 

 Municipal Bonds, Chicago, 1877, and to A Treatise on Municipal 

 Police Ordinances, Chicago, 1887, by N. T. Horr and A. A. Bemis, 

 of the Cleveland bar. The authors of the last work say in their 

 preface that "The necessity for it arises from the fact that, except in 

 those cities and towns where the municipal council has the assistance 

 of regularly employed legal advisers, the limits of lawful legislation 

 are apt to be exceeded." 



Numerous references to articles in law journals are given on pp. 

 386-588 of Jones's Index to Legal Periodical Literature, Boston. 18SS.
