THE

MUNICIPAL CODE

OF OHIO

୯

INCLUDING

All sections of the General Code of Ohio
relating to Municipal Corporations, with all
Amendments and Supplements thereto,
together with complete Annota-
tions of Decisions and all
Necessary Forms.

Since the publication of the last edition of this work, ten years have elapsed, and many amendments and supplements to the General Code, relating to municipalities, have been enacted by the Legislature. Likewise a great many decisions have been rendered affecting the municipal law of Ohio.

In addition, the Constitutional amendments adopted in 1912, particularly those relating to Home Rule, have made sweeping changes in the powers of municipalities, and have led to the adoption of special charters by many of them.

As in the last preceding edition, Part I embraces those sections. of the General Code in Title XII, Part First, entitled "Municipal Corporations"; Part II consists of the laws relating to municipal corporations, but not contained in Title XII, Part First, arranged according to the subjects to which they relate, and as far as possible in the order in which such subjects are treated in Part I. Part III has been added, embracing those provisions of the Constitution which relate directly to municipalities, with special reference to the provisions for "Home Rule."

The forms and orders of procedure have been revised and new forms added, particular attention being given to those relating to the adoption of special charters. References to the opinions. of the Attorney General have also been added to the annotations.

In order to take care of the large amount of new matter without making the book too bulky, matters formerly contained in the appendix and not regarded as essential to a work of this character have been omitted. For like reasons the excellent introduction to the original edition, by Mr. Wade H. Ellis, though of great historical interest, has been omitted.

The editor desires to acknowledge, with appreciation, the many helpful suggestions received from City Solicitors and Attorneys throughout the state; also valuable material for this edition from Mr. Challen B. Ellis, editor of the previous editions. EDGAR L. WEINLAND.
