In the case of St. Louis, it is both a city and a county with the same borders and (to an extent) two different sets of bureaucracy. They're currently trying to revise the charter to "streamline" it. For Legacy purposes, I record it as St. Louis, St. Louis City, Missouri. Note that in 1876, St. Louis split from the old St. Louis County so there is now a separate St. Louis County to go with St. Louis City (County). So, again, St. Louis City is the name of the county that contains St. Louis! I believe there are other instances in the U.S. where this may be the case..... Jim --- Lewis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
