Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annexation of Charlestown and Somerville to Boston: A Condensed Report of the Argument of Hon. Ellis W. Morton; Before the Committee of the Legislature on Towns; In Behalf of the Petitioners for an Act Authorizing the Union of Charlestown and Somerville With Boston; Monday, Feb; 27, 1871 Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: In the outset of my argument, permit a suggestion that the various petitions referred to you do not call for a determination of the question of annexation itself. In frequent instances petitioners request the legislature, by the exercise of its high authority, to adjust municipal boundaries, not in accordance with the sanction of a majority of all the people interested, but in concurrence with the will of certain people. This class of cases oftentimes presents serious difficulties to the impartial legislator. The question now debated is a simple one: whether a rectification of boundaries may be permitted in accordance with the deliberately recorded will of a majority of all the people of all the communities concerned. The committee might properly dispose of this investigation with the limited inquiry - Are there any sufficient reasons why the union of Boston, Charlestown and Somerville, should not be assented to? but the tendency of the hearing has been towards the broader inquiry why it should be, and the committee will involuntarily entertain it.
