municipal

municipal
Pertaining to the internal government of a state or nation; pertaining to a town or city or to its local government. 37 Am J1st Mun Corp § 3. Belonging to a city, town, or place having the right of local government; belonging to or affecting a particular state or separate community; local; particular; independent. The word is usually applied to what belongs to a city, but has a more extensive meaning, and is in legal effect the same as public or governmental, as distinguished from private. Cook v Portland, 20 Or 580, 27 P 263. The word strictly applies only to what belongs to a city. The word is derived from the Latin word "municipium," meaning a city. In modern times, however, the word municipal has expanded in its meaning and it extends to that which pertains to the state as well as that which pertains to the city, as distinguished from that which is international. Winspear v Holman, 37 Iowa 542, 544.
