Excerpt from Report of the London Traffic Branch of the Board of Trade, 1908: Presented to Both Houses of Parliament by Command of His Majesty The members of the executive have a right to take part in all meetings of the Communal Council, and this council has a right to require their attendance for the purpose of obtaining information. Like the mayor, they are elected by the council for a term of twelve years, and as a rule their appointment must be confirmed by the Chief President or Governor of the Province. Most of the members of the executive have worked for a long time upon the council. The salary of a member of the executive seldom exceeds ???500, though in Berlin higher payment is made in special cases. The inner administrative work of a municipality in which members of a Communal Council share is done by committees in the same way as in England. These committees (called variously deputations and commissions) are mixed bodies composed of members of the executive and of the council, with additions from the outside in some cases, and the extent of their jurisdiction is determined by the mayor and executive. One of the greatest advantages of the German municipal system is its unity. The whole work of local government (allowing for the functions reserved to the police as already stated) is concentrated in the hands of one authority, which, in spite of the devolution of certain powers to subordinate bodies, exerts complete control. Though the taxes levied in a German town are many, falling upon the citizens in varying number and with varying weight, there is only one taxing authority, and all taxes pass into a common fund, fl om which the needs of the various spending departments are supplied.
