"An Opinion Upon the Powers and Duties of the Trustees of the Freeholders and Commonalty of the Town" offers a fascinating glimpse into 19th-century municipal law. Authored by Charles R. Street and Henry C. Platt, this legal opinion delves into the specific powers and responsibilities of trustees within a town’s governance structure.
This work provides valuable insights into the legal framework that shaped local administration and the interactions between freeholders, the common population, and their elected or appointed representatives. It’s an essential resource for legal historians, scholars of urban development, and anyone interested in the evolution of American municipal governance.
