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

Communication from Mr. J. Fletcher-Cooke transmitting copies of<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Proposed Legislation Relating to Municipalities and Local Councils<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The following communication and enclosure was received from Mr. Fletcher-Cooke of the United Kingdom delegation on 10 February, 1948.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

9<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> February 1948.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Dear Bunche,<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

You will remember that when the United Kingdom Delegation met the Commission on Friday, 30<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> January, I mentioned that I was expecting copies of the legislation being drafted by the Government of Palestine to give effect to the proposals made at (a) and (b) of sub-paragraph 2 of section (1) <\/span>Municipalities and Local Councils<\/u><\/span> of paragraph 2 of the memorandum we submitted to the Commission at our meeting with them on 21st January.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

I now enclose six copies of the proposed amendments and would be grateful to have as soon as possible any comments which members of the Commission may wish to make so that I can convey them to the Government of Palestine.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

A similar Bill relaxing control over Local Councils (as distinct from Corporations) has not yet been drafted but if and when I receive copies from Palestine, I will of course forward them to you.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

You will observe that the First Schedule makes permanent amendments to the Ordinance in accordance with Government’s original intentions to relax certain controls and also includes certain other amendments which have nothing to do with the laying down of the Mandate.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Second Schedule suspends certain power and makes other temporary amendments so that Municipal Corporations can continue to operate at a time when District Commissioners (or their equivalents) may not be in office. Separate provision is made for the suspension of control over municipal estimates during the year 1948\/49.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

I presume that you have among your records an up-to-date copy of the Municipal Corporations Ordinance 1934. I believe there is one in this office too but I have not yet been able to find it.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Commission will no doubt appreciate that after the laying down of the Mandate, the chief difficulty with which the Local Authorities will be faced will be the provision of funds to pay for police and other security measures. I am informed that it has recently been reported in the “Palestine Post” that the Jaffa Municipality is proposing to raise a special tax ranging from 500 mils to £P5 a month to be collected a year in advance to meet the most urgent needs. Another report states that the Tel Aviv Municipality are proposing to introduce “a gradual one-time tax on dwellings” to cover emergency expenditure and especially to provide funds for the housing of the poor. Payments will range between 500 mils and £P10 per room. The new tax is expected to net about £P100,000.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

I should like to take this opportunity of repeating the information that I gave to the Commission about the Central Government’s contributions to the finances of Local Authorities.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Up to the present, and of course during the financial year 1947\/48, Government’s contributions to Local Authorities have taken two forms <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

(a) on the one hand, there have been general grants-in-aid amounting to £P 238,000 in 1947\/48), <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

(b) on the other hand, Government has made certain specific grants-in-aid to Local Authorities, e.g. for health services, education, social welfare, etc.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The present intention in respect of the financial year 1948\/49 (which starts on let April 1948) is to entrust to Local Authorities the collection and disbursement of the Urban Property Tax, which is expected to produce about £P700,000 per year. In view of this decision, the Government of Palestine are proposing to omit from the 1948\/49 estimates any provision for the general grant-in-aid amounting, as explained above, to £P238,000 per annum. The Government of Palestine do, however, intend to make provision in the 1948\/49 estimates for the specific grants-in-aid (e.g. for health services, education, social welfare, etc.) on a pro rata basis covering the months of April and May 1948 only.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

I am, of course, aware that the Commission take the view that the Government of Palestine should prepare estimates for the full year 1948\/49 and this view has been reported to His Majesty’s Government. In the meanwhile, however, estimates for 1948\/49 are only being prepared for the months or April and May.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

If the above information requires any elucidation, you will no doubt let me know.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Yours sincerely,<\/p><\/div>\n
