Town Government.
The government of a town is perhaps the nearest approach we have to a direct government by the people themselves.
Towns as well as counties not only look after their local interest but look after state interest within their boundaries.
A community of three hundred or more may upon petition of two-thirds of its inhabitants, be incorporated as a town.
Towns as well as counties are organized and governed under general laws passed by the legislature of its state.
The incorporated township has a right to hold property and make contracts.
