বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ তৃতীয় পত্র (c) The Deputy Commissioner and the Chairman of the District Board should meet at periodical intervals to resolve matters calling for co-ordination between the regulatory and developmental administration. This procedure should be given official recognition in the legislation dealing with the local bodies. (3) Union Board. (a) Membership. Each Union Board (the existing Union Councils should be replaced by the old Union Boards) should consist of 10 to 15 members. They should be directly elected on the basis of universal franchise. The members should elect their own Chairmen from amongst themselves. b) Functions. The functions and duties assigned to the local bodies can be broadly placed under three categories: (I) Municipal services and other civic amenities; (II) Social welfare activities; and (III) Development work. (4) Development Block. Each Development Block will comprise the area covered by a police station or thana. The functions, responsibilities and the staff requirements of the development have been set out in detail in the Report on Community Development already submitted to the Government. (5) Finances: (a) Taxation and other dues. (b) Government Grant, (c) Development. (6) Method of work: well-developed committee system. A detailed long-term plan for the development of local self governing bodies will be submitted in due course. It is difficult to say at the moment as to how many of the lotcal bodies will be in a position to function. This will have to be ascertained immediately on the morrow of independence. In many cases, it may be necessary to make ad-hoc arrangement. (Muzaffar Ahmed Choudhuri) Chairman Planning Cell.
