Sažetak
The introduction of communal system in the People’s Republic of Croatia on September 1st, 1955 saw the abolishment of the large number of previous small municipalities and merger of the territories of several ex-municipalities. On the mentioned date the territory of the municipality Čakovec was merged with the area of the ex-municipalities Belica and Novo Selo na Dravi. The new municipality (commune) was supposed to be a higher form of social self-management. Through the whole operating period the municipality’s People’s committee functioned via joint sessions and made decisions on the most important questions regarding its own scope (founding of institutions and companies; appointment and dismissal of various leaders; passing of statutes, municipal budgets and other important decisions). Regarding the considerable part of authorities in managing the tasks from the previous period, they were given to boards (Municipal board and Board of manufacturers) and councils. Both of them carried functions of the executive-political bodies. Implementing the laws, decisions, orders and instructions voted by the People’s Committee, its boards and councils was the responsibility of the administrative apparatus of Čakovec’s People’s Committee that comprised of different organizational units (departments, sections, administrations, offices, bureaus, etc.). In 1957 the territorial scope of the Čakovec municipality was augmented by adding the area of former municipalities Nedelišće, Lopatinec and Mala Subotica. This, in turn, expanded the area of activity for the People’s Committee. Čakovec will keep this territorial municipal scope until 1962, when the district of Čakovec will be abolished. A new municipality Čakovec will be formed in its place and it will include the entire area of the former district. The most important feature during the whole period of activity of the People’s Committee of Čakovec’s municipality is the vertical distribution of tasks under its authority, which was manifested in increasing the scope of the tasks going from the highest body (The People’s Committee of the municipality) down to lower levels (boards, councils and commissions).
