Two Local Govts.
Within County
For its size, does Rappahannock County have more or fewer governmental agencies than other communities? How many such bodies are there throughout the county with power to pass rules and regulations affecting local residents? A new report on the subject, issued by the U.S. Census Bureau, makes possible a comparison of the local governmental structure with that found in other areas. The data was gathered from all parts of the country as part of the “1967 Census of Governments”. It underscores the fact that community affairs are being directed less and less by county, municipal and township governments and more by autonomous or semi-autonomous subdivisions.
