Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court December 8, 1922 (Young v. City Council)

Rugg, C.J.

The question to be decided is whether when a city, which has adopted one plan of charter under G. L. c. 43, changes to another plan under the same chapter, all members of the school committee go out of office and an entirely new board must be elected. The passage of St. 1915, c. 267, of which G. L. c. 43 is the present form, was an innovation in city charter legislation.
