The extent to which this legislative regulation of local affairs has been carried, may be seen from the statements made in the report of the Fassett Committee of the New York Senate, appointed in 1890, to investigate the subject of municipal gov- ernment in the state of New York. This shows that within six years (1884- 1889, inclusive) the legislature of New York passed 1284 acts relative to the thirty cities in the state. Of these, 390 acts affected the city of New York.^ In one year, 1 Ibid. ...^ Senate Committee Report., Vol. V., p. 459. 24 MUNICIPAL HOME RULE viz., 1886, 280 of the 681 acts passed by the legis- lature, i.e. between one-third and one-half of its entire work, interfered directly with the affairs of some particular county, city, village, or town, specifically and expressly named.
