AID TO CIVIC FREEDOM
The value of hem rule for cities is
pointed out In u statement issued today
by the Tlurcau of Municipal Itescnrch.
In discussing "Citizens' Business" it
Is contended flint the velers of a home
rule municipality should be able te con
fer, by charter, upon the city gevern-im-nt
any power needed for municipal
ndmtnlsttntlen which the Legislature of
the State could confer if it were enact
Ine n legislative chnrtcr.
This Is n long step en progress, the
lurenii imerts. compared with the doe dee
trlnes of strictly limited powers obtain ebtain
ln in three-fourths of the States.
The statement snys:
"An cx.ict staking out of tlm field
of local freedom is, of course, net pos
sible. As an Indication, however. It
might be Mild thnt in some of the States
en which Pennsylvania may be likely
te drnw for precedent such nmtters
Iiiive bppn ndjndgtd within the unham
pered province or the i'UIiw ns the con
trol of tmrkH, boulevards and bridges,
tlie awarding of contracts, the levy of
special assessments, determining the
nrdlnnnee procedure, the number of
ceuncllmeii, thi nunllficntinns for mu
nicipal office and the regulation of pros pres pros

Avlth the Slnte. Se with the power of
eminent domain, the annexation of tor ter tor
tltery and the regulation of hi -railed
county elHu-rt, in a consolidated ilty and
county.
"As te the establishment mid con
ferring of additional jurisdiction upon
courts, the control of public utilities,
the control of police, the control and
Improvement of streets, the conduct of
elections, the adjudication of claims
against the citv, nnd the levy of taxes
for local benefits, precedent of varying
weight may be found for holding these
mutters te he either of local or of gen
eral concern. Within the sphere of
concurrent ' iiirlsdictlen lie net only
matters of education nnd public health
but the exercise of the police power,
with the tendency nppnrcnt of giving
the cities jut as much 'leeway as pos
sible In thin regnrd."
