Joint Select Comm. on Plantations. Act to promote the incorporation of towns and new settlements, 1857
|

Thirty-sixth Legislature. Senate. No. 14. The Joint Select Committee on Plantations submitted: An Act to promote the incorporation of towns in new
settlements, 1857. The Act defined the number of people and amount of territory that could be in a town. The relevant county commissioners were to
take a census to determine if the requirements were met, then describe the parameters f the town, and call an organizational meeting. Once an area was
a town, it was not part of a plantation anymore. The new town needed to set up its assessment system promptly. Madawaska and Van Buren were exempt
from the act for five years. The act did not apply to any islands. (Digitized from a microfilm copy of title originally held by the Library of
Congress).
