Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the arguments of Charles R. Train, the lawyer who represented a group of petitioners in 1879 before a legislative committee. The primary purpose of the petitioners was to incorporate Cottage City into its own town. The petitioners consisted mostly of non-resident landowners who believed their seasonal community required more autonomy. The petition focuses on the idea that Cottage City, a seasonal religious community, has grown to the point where it needed to be managed by the seasonal residents who supplied the vast majority of its income. Train argued that the creation of a new town would allow for more appropriate budgeting and management of the unique needs of Cottage City, which were being neglected and mismanaged by Edgartown, the larger town to which Cottage City belonged. Moreover, the author argues, the interests of Edgartown and Cottage City were not aligned and more often than not antagonistic. The book provides valuable insights on the politics of resource allocation and addresses issues of fair representation, taxation, emergency services, and local autonomy. By detailing the specific grievances of the petitioners alongside data and evidence, this book gives readers an in-depth look at the factors that contributed to the growth of the Cottage City community and the ultimate decision to form its own municipality.
