ANNOTATION

Annotations

The general assembly almost made it impossible for two political subdivisions to exercise the same functions at the same time, by providing that the directors of the district created for a special and limited purpose should be the same persons as the trustees of the municipal corporation having the broad general powers. Here is an almost automatic assurance that the trustees of the town would not allow a quasi-municipal corporation to come into existence to function within their territory, unless the town government itself was either unable to act or, in fact, refused to function in the field proposed to be occupied by the quasi-municipal organization.
