Whether later the new municipality receives a government commissioner or an administrative commission with advisory or decision-making function, whether the new municipal head will conduct his business full-time, or whether only a full-office assistant is hired, or if one finally has several municipalities supervised by commissioners of the district authority, must be decided on a case-by-case basis later. In principle, it will already be possible to find out that the dissolved communities will be represented in the future administrative committees of the new municipality and thus be able to participate in future community life. In the light of these considerations, it will be possible to expect that, according to the experience gained so far with the experiment to be completed in the district of Budweis, of the approximately 8ooo municipalities of the Protectorate, at least 3000 will disappear. 3.) Mr General Major-General R e n e r t h with a request for information. R. 4.) Wv. after Matti's departure.
