What reading level is The Town And City Government of New Haven book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was plain that the size of the city rendered government by such a demo- cratic assembly difficult, if not impracticable. Yet so great was the distrust of the few by the many, that the City-Meet- ing in 1849 forbade the appropriation by the Common Council of more than one hundred dollars without the approval of a City-Meeting called for that purpose.
There was good sense enough in the city to repeal the law shortly afterward, but it was a sign of rapid progress that, in the spring of 1854, th...e following motion prevailed in City-Meeting : " Resolved, that the Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council be requested to digest a constitution or plan of government for the city of New Haven to be sub- mitted to the citizens, by which all the powers now vested in the municipal corporation, styled ' The Mayor, Aldermen, Common Council, and Freemen/ shall be vested in a repre- sentative body, or bodies, to be chosen by electors residing in the city of New Haven ; and that the same be prepared and submitted in season to be passed upon in City-Meeting, and, if approved, to be carried to the Legislature for its sanction.
