Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Revised Ordinances of 1889 of the City of Cambridge: As Approved December 31, 1889 The present revision of the ordinances of Cambridge was under taken to meet a need which had long been recognized. The changes in the ordinances have been so frequent in recent years, and SO many new subjects have been introduced, that the volume containing the last prior revision had become of uncertain value for purposes of reference, except in connection with the supplementary publication of the various amendments as made from year to year in the annual city document. Since the revision of 1879, nearly one hundred changes have been made in the body of the ordinances. The legislative act constituting the charter of the City of Cambridge, was approved March 17, 1846. It was adopted by the people in the month of April, and the first city government there under was organized May 4th following. The city began its \corporate existence under the law of its charter only, but during the first year thereafter, twenty-two ordinances relating to various subjects were adopted. Up to the year 1856 there was no printed volume of city ordinances, each enactment being recorded by the city clerk in a book kept for the purpose. In September, 1856, the city council adopted an order directing the committee on ordi nances, to prepare and publish a volume of the Municipal Register which Should contain the city charter and amendments and all special laws in force at the time of publication. The committee was authorized to employ such assistance in the work as might be deemed necessary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
