English Translation

-3- is almost impossible. Often politically already necessary implementations into the posts of the municipal leaders fail simply because in the small communities nobody can find himself, who wants and can take over these important and extensive tasks. 2.) In the administration. The voluntary community leaders are often so overburdened in their main occupation that they hardly care about the administration of the communities. Occasional visits to such municipal offices attest that e.g. the official proclamation sheets of the Protectorate are uncut, i.e. unread, piled up somewhere in the Geneindestube. In the small communities there are also no ordinary workers. Also, the necessary funds are needed to pay for an auxiliary worker. 3.) In the economic and financial life of the municipalities. The small dwarf communities are economically and financially unable to fulfil their statutory tasks. The framework of the dwarf communities is so small that larger tasks cannot be taken up because of the lack of suitable forces and financial resources. Thus, the small - financially weak - communities are not at all able to fulfil the tasks of autonomous care. This will be particularly difficult if the necessary reform of the autonomous law of public health provides for even higher benefits for the municipalities. Such tasks will perhaps be able to be carried out in common with the population from 700 to 1 000. 4.) At the level of the supervisory authority. The district heads today have the enormous burden of having to care for a large number of dwarf communities. The merger of the political districts carried out in the summer has this maladministration to an unacceptable extent ./.
