Local Self-Government Department. Resolution Reviewing The Reports On The Working Of Municipalities In Bengal During The Year 1921-22

1923

The provisions of the Bengal Municipal Act were extended to the town of Rajbari in the district of Faridpur at the close of he year. [...] As regards the municipalities in Bankura the Magistrate reports an absence of initiative and zeal in the cause of municipal progress and states that the Commissioners have hardly yet developed the spirit of local patriotism so as to take any real pride in the administration of their respective municipalities. [...] The Commissioner of the Division observes °— " From my point of view the principal feature of the year's municipal administration has been the comparative neglect of vital statistics and struggle of rural municipalities to improve their water-supply and of the few municipalities which already have water-works to keep them in order. [...] Improvements were effected in the water-supply drainage &lectric lighting and municipal builings while by the purchase of the Lower Besechwood estate the municipality will be able to take up in the future a housing scheme to meet the growing demand for the provison of houses of a cheaand sanitary type. [...] The names of the following Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen have been specially brought to the notice of Government by the Commissioners of Divisions on account of the good work done by them ; and the Government (Ministry of Local Self-Government) desire to express their appreciation of the public spirit shown by these gentlemen :— Burdwan Babu Santosh Kumar Bose Chairman Bnrdwan.
