UNITED NATIONS PALESTINE COMMISSION<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Communication Received from the United Kingdom<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Delegation Concerning Municipal Corporations<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

(Amendment) Bill<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The following communication, enclosing amended copies of the Municipal Corporations (Amendment) Bill, has been received from Mr. Fletcher-Cooke of the United Kingdom Delegation.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\n

UNITED KINGDOM DELEGATION TO THE UNITED NATIONS<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Empire State Building, New York 1, N.Y.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

6th April, 1948<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

My dear Bunche,<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

May I refer you to your letter of the 3rd March in which you stated that the Commission had no comments to offer on the municipal Corporations (Amendment) Bill.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

2. I have now received a further communication from Jerusalem, with amended copies of the Bill (six of which are enclosed for the Commission’s information), in which reference is invited to the following points: –<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

(1) The Bill as now amended was published in the official Government Gazette in Palestine on the 18th March.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

(2) The amendments made by the First Schedule call for no further explanation.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

(3) As regards the Second Schedule, however, it will be observed from Clause 2(2) of the Bill that this was intended to operate only from the relinquishment of the Mandate.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

(4) It is felt, however, that it is not the responsibility of the Government of Palestine to legislate for circumstances after the termination of the Mandate and it is now, therefore, proposed to enact the Bill on the 30th March with the following amendments: –<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t(a) Delete “(1)” in Clause 2 and the word “first” in sub-Clause (1) of the Clause.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\tDelete sub-Clause (2) of the Clause.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t(b) Delete “First” in the heading of the First Schedule and delete the Second Schedule.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n

(5) The Commission may, however, wish to make use of the draft of the Second Schedule and it was, therefore, considered desirable to publish it as part of the Bill so that any public comment would be available for the [ENDS HERE ON ORIGINAL TEXT]<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

(6) It will also be observed that the copies of the Bill now enclosed have been slightly amended in other respects.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

3. In brief, the effect of these changes is that the Second Schedule does not appear in the Bill as enacted on the 30th March but it will be open to the Commission to introduce legislation on the lines of the Second Schedule if they so desire.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

4. A further point which the Commission will wish to consider is the auditing of Municipal Accounts in 1948\/49. The relevant sections of the Municipal Corporations Ordinance are Sections 69 et seq. At present the Director of Audit carries out the audit of Municipal Accounts and he hopes that he will have been able to complete the 1947\/48 audit and to certify the Annual Statement by the 15th May 1948. It is not essential for the audit of the 1948\/49 Accounts to commence before, say, the end of May. The Ordinance as amended in respect of Section 75(a) by the First Schedule of the Bill allows the Commission either to organize a Municipal Audit Department or to approve the appointment of private firms to carry out this duty.<\/p><\/div>\n
