Local communities have always experienced great difficulties in reaching consensus in public service decisions. What goods should be provided and how they should be financed is often controversial. There is no magic cure for the inefficiencies in public service provision. This account of one town's two hundred year public service history provides invaluable insights that will aid scholars and students of economics, history, public policy, and finance.
