This book proposes a plan for reforming Great Britain's rural local government by establishing a system of municipal districts as the foundation of all local administration. The author argues that the current system of varied and overlapping areas and authorities is outdated, inefficient, and undemocratic. The book advocates for a more coherent approach based on the creation of municipal districts, each with its own elected board, which would be responsible for all local affairs within their boundaries. The author suggests that merging existing parishes into municipal districts would enable a more effective and consistent local government system, while also allowing for the preservation of certain parish functions for ecclesiastical and civil purposes. Additionally, the book proposes a division of powers and duties between municipal and county boards, with the former handling matters such as poor relief, sanitation, and education, and the latter focusing on county-wide issues like police, roads, and valuation. By providing a comprehensive overview of the problems with the current system and presenting a detailed plan for reform, this book offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of local government in rural areas.
