Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the financial history of Baltimore from its 1729 origins as a small market town to the eve of incorporation as a city in 1796. It is a detailed study of the emergence of local self-government in fiscal affairs from the perspective of the various town boards and commissions created over this period. The author analyzes the revenues and expenditures of these entities, looking closely at the evolving tax policy to identify sources of revenue and how funds were allocated and budgeted. The book extensively examines the evolving system for street maintenance, the creation of a waterfront board, and the rise of a range of fees and licenses. The author ties local developments to the broader political and economic context, offering a careful look at the fitful process by which Baltimore grew while taking stock of its own administrative capacity. By taking a long view, the author emphasizes the essential continuity between the institutions of Baltimore Town and those of the subsequent city, situating the development of Baltimore's fiscal apparatus within the story of the city's rise in the late 18th century.
