Change Boundaries: Very few yards are actually square, and it is quite possible that some of your boundaries are not straight and change boundaries direction more than once. Rather than trying to record all the corners in relation to each other, it is much easier to plot them in relation to two fixed points, such as the corners of the house. This places every change boundaries of direction and corner at the point of a triangle. Garden features and plants can then be plotted off their nearest boundary.
WITH GARDENS a sense of enclosure is important. On small lots the boundaries may be those of the property or even plantings or other pleasant features on a neighbor's property, for when I speak of boundaries I mean not those of the lot but those that limit the view. On larger grounds the boundaries to views may be well within the property lines.
For various purposes, such as charter amendments, increase of indebtedness, change boundaries in form of local government, change boundaries of boundaries, the referendum is used in hundreds of American cities. The advisory referendum—voicing sentiment locally for action by a municipal council or a state legislature—is allowed in many places which have no power to employ it with finality. Instances may be found in the cities of Virginia (the Richmond charter of 1948) ; the will of the local electorate for purely local purposes is enacted by the state general assembly in granting charters, although there is no formal municipal home rule. A description of the procedure for the referendum follows closely that for the initiative. |
