Talk:McCandless, Pennsylvania

message: 1. It is quite obvious here that it was agreed upon that "since the law calls it a town, then we're all bound to treat it as such."
2. It was stated somewhere before that because it's still a "municipal corporation" that that makes it still a township. However, if you would waltz on over to the municipal corporation article, you would see that a town IS a municipal corporation.
3. The law states "The boundaries of the Town of McCandless shall be the boundaries of McCandless Township on the effective date of this Charter, or as lawfully changed thereafter." If the law were merely changing the name of a township, it would not be going into such detail as this.
4. A town council is outlined in the law. If the intention of the law was to change the name of a township, it would not be setting up a different form of governing body than what was already in place. The Board of Supervisors was eliminated by the township being eliminated, and the board members were grandfathered in as town council members.
5. "The Town of McCandless shall be the successor in interest to McCandless Township in all respects and shall continue to own, possess, exercise, control and enjoy, as the case may be, all of the property, rights and privileges of McCandless Township as of the effective date of this Charter." - The word "successor" makes it pretty clear, cut and dry, that McCandless Township was replaced with the Town of McCandless. That's all there is to it. Wiktionary defines "successor" as "A person or thing that immediately replaces another."

thread_title:  Town 

message: just because they call themselves "town of mccandless" does not make it so.  that may be strange, but it's true.  there are a few boroughs that call themselves "municipality of #$^%&" but they are not classified as "municipalities" in a technical way, they are still boroughs or townships, as is mccandless township. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.201.23.244 (talk) 14:38, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
