ADVISORY COMMISSION ON INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS

A NOTE ON THE ADVISORY COMMISSION ON
INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS

The Advisory Commission on Inter-
governmental Relations is a bipartisan
agency of the United States Government
whose members include Cabinet officers,
members of Congress, governors, state
legislators, mayors, and county officials.
As its name suggests, it is vitally con-
cerned with political-social-economic
relations between local, state, and na-
tional governments. It enjoys an en-
viable nationwide reputation for devis-
ing sound intergovernmental proposals
designed to meet today's needs for socio-
political arrangements that will keep
pace with fast-moving technological
advances. The Maryland Constitutional
Convention Commission has drawn
upon the Advisory Commission's re-
sources, particularly in the preparation
of its recommendations regarding
Article VII, Local Government.
Listed below are the titles of publica-
tions by the Advisory Commission
on Intergovernmental Relations which
probably would prove to be informative
and useful to those interested in local
government.

ture, organization, and planning
in metropolitan areas, house
comm. on governmental opera-

of the state 68 pp. (offset, Sept.
1961). Traces the development of
local consumer and income taxes in
the U. S. and sets forth policy guide-
lines for their coordination by the
states. The report underscores the
"piggy-backing" of the local tax on
the state tax as the most promising
way to coordinate state and local
income and sales taxes by giving local
jurisdictions access to superior en-
forcement resources of the state,
easing taxpayer compliance, but leav-
ing the decision to impose the tax to
local initiative.

and statutory restrictions on

and statutory restrictions upon
the structural, functional, and
personnel powers of local gov-
