Since the passing of the first Reform Act, the enlargement of the sphere of state action, and the multifarious character of the work brought within it, have compelled the central government either to create new local authorities, or to extend the powers of those already in existence. But even when the national administration was most centralised in England, and local government was most decrepit, the local authorities never ceased to discharge some duties; and so to-day they exercise two kinds of powers.
