Commonwealth v. Plaisted green

1932In Massachusetts the court said in Commonwealth v. Plaisted, 148 Mass. 375 , that: “We cannot declare an act of the legislature invalid because it abridges the exercise of the privilege of local self-government in a particular in regard to which such privilege is not guaranteed by any provision of the constitution.” Recently the same court upheld the validity of the act constituting a state-appointed board of finance for the city of Fall River.
