GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAw.

REVISERS' NOTE.

The general municipal law includes provisions common to two or more classes of municipal corporations, most of which have already been reported to the legislature in article XIV of the county law. Other legislation will probably be found necessary hereafter applicable to two or more classes of such corporations, and it is believed that a general law of this nature will prove convenient in such cases, and that such general legislation should be encouraged as avoiding the necessity of repeating similar provisions in the town, county and city law. The commissioners have, therefore, decided to recommend the omission from the county law of article XIV thereof as first reported. So much of that article as has not been included in the general municipal law has been transferred to the town law and the tax laws.
