[SYDNEY]. Report of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Question of the Constitution of a Greater Sydney; .. copies of commissions, minutes of proceedings, evidence, and appendices.
Sydney, Govt Printer 1914. foolscap folio printed boards (spotted & marked, rebacked); xc,449pp, 20 maps (some folding). Some scattered spots and a few signs of use. ¶ Surprisingly uncommon for such an extensive document. The question of constituting a centralised government for the whole metropolitan area naturally inspired or enraged flocks of movements (or movements of flocks), all of whom leapt to present proposals, object and give evidence. Possibly for the first time, to whatever effect, we find town planners and architects joining aldermen, town clerks and lawyers in attempting to frame social and governmental changes on such a scale.
