Examines the relationship between fiscal stress & municipal policy toward growth in WI cities, villages, & towns, drawing on data from two 1998 surveys. Cities & villages tended to exert greater growth management effort than did towns, as measured by policies adopted. Findings provide some support for the argument that cities & villages view growth differently than do towns, which see growth as largely beneficial. To the extent that growth leads to marginal increases in overall costs, cities & villages appear more willing & able than towns to exact influence through greater growth management effort. 3 Tables, 45 References.

ABSTRACTAlthough little explored, regulations – in the form of laws and byelaws – formed an important technique of nineteenth-century government. This article explores the implementation and enforcement of two sets of regulations regarding the keeping and disposal of dirt imposed by Scottish local authorities: one on behaviours around the disposal of domestic refuse, the other on the keeping of dung – a form of property. While behaviours around refuse were more stringently policed than those affecting property, in both cases regulations were not the basis of a strict disciplinary regime, but a means of informing, educating and persuading residents into cleanly habits.
