The Supervisor's Manual: Containing the Laws Relating to the Powers and Duties of Supervisors, Both in Their Individual and Collective Capacities; With an Appendix of Forms (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Supervisor's Manual: Containing the Laws Relating to the Powers and Duties of Supervisors, Both in Their Individual and Collective Capacities; With an Appendix of Forms

The object of this book is to present the existing law relative to the powers and duties of supervisors, both individually and collectively, i'rom the time of their election to the close of their official year. The various statutes relating to them have been gathered from the acts of the legislature for the last half cen tury, and arranged for ready reference. The decisions of the courts construing these statutes have also been examined and the principle enunciated given in connection therewith. The statutes have been quoted at length in order to make the book a practical compendium of the whole law upon the subject, and a safe guide Wherever the statute books may not be accessible. The need of a work of this kind has long been felt. It is now over fifteen years since any attempt has been made to compile the laws on this subject, and during that interim many and important changes have been made. The j urisdiction of super visors has been materially extended, and they are rapidly becoming, in the most important sense of the term, county leg islators. We are glad to believe that the time is not far distant.
