A.
This table is the result of an effort to devise a systematic and
preferably complete outline of the structure and functions of Town
government as embodied in the General Laws of the Commonwealth, the
Town Charter and other special legislation, the General Bylaws of
the Town, and regulations adopted by Town boards and officials. Experience
has shown that some such guide is needed for ready access to the various
sources of law governing the operation of Town government.
B.
Explanation of citations. All provisions cited without parentheses
are those in effect as of April 1996. Provisions cited in parentheses
are either those which would govern in the absence of Charter or bylaw
provisions or annual statutes later incorporated into the General
Laws. Statutory references are to chapters and sections of the General
Laws, or to annual acts. Bylaw references are to the compilation adopted
by the 1973 Annual Town Meeting or to the date of another subsequent
Town Meeting vote.
