Abstract

By the Administrative law of 1938, the position of sub-prefect was abolished. That is why in the budget of the Ministry of the Interior for the period 1939/1940, the positions of the former sub-prefects could no longer be included. In order to solve the problem, the political decision-makers entered in the budget 71 positions of praetors with the salaries of the former sub-prefects. As a result, the decision was made to create in each county a new constituency with a smaller area and with the preferred residence in the capital of the county so that these new praetors can be, in case of need, also the deputies of the prefects. The actions taken by the public authorities of Ismail county regarding the creation of the new territorial constituency - the Bairamcea district with the residence in the locality of the same name were examined.
