Municipal Crisis In Ohio, John Archibald Fairlie Feb 1903

Municipal Crisis In Ohio, John Archibald Fairlie

Michigan Law Review

On June 26th, 1902, the supreme court of Ohio rendered three decisions which precipitated a crisis in municipal affairs in that state. For, by these decisions, the court virtually overruled a long line of precedents, and laid down a principle under which scarcely a city in the state possessed a constitutional government. In consequence, the legislature was summoned in extraordinary session to enact a new municipal code for all the cities and villages in the state. The situation was unparalleled, even in American history; and the task before the general assembly was doubtless the most important single act ofmlnicip,- 1,egislati_u …
