The county corporations are represented by the County
Councils which meet once a year, and consist of the chairmen from
all the districts in the county, under the presidency of the prefect,
who, however, has no vote. The County Council deals with cases
that concern the county in general, and grants the necessary
means, for which the taxable property of the county, and to some
extent the several districts, are assessed. This is especially the
case with great undertakings, which the financial condition of the
separate districts does not permit of their accomplishing
single-handed, [[** sjk bindestrek]] wherefore a combination has proved necessary. As an
instance may be mentioned the supplies voted for the county’s
means of communication, such as the making of roads, and laying
of railways. The County Council also deals with matters
concerning the county School Board, the Lunacy Department, and
the Prisons’ Board. The prefect prepares the cases, and lays them
before the County Council. It is his special duty to make
estimates for the budget of the county corporation, and also to carry
into effect the measures passed by the County Council. With
regard to the validity of these measures, and the necessity for the
approval of the prefect or the government, the same rules hold
good as for the more circumscribed municipalities.
