It should be noted that since the issuance of Municipalities Law of 1955, other laws have been adopted which transferred most of the responsibilities of municipalities to ministries or other ancillary entities. Some of these responsibilities are:
|
|
|
|
Water
|
|
|
|
Electricity and gas
|
|
|
|
Installation of sewage lines
|
|
|
|
Inspecting modes of transportation
|
|
|
|
Inspecting and regulating hotels
|
|
|
|
Maintaining morality and public decency
|
|
|
|
Fire stations and prevention of fires
|
|
|
|
Establishment of hospitals and other health care centers
|
|
|
|
Establishment and inspection of cultural, sports, and arts institutions
|
|
|
|
Prevention of begging; establishment of shelters for the elderly; and monitoring collection of donations
|
|
|
|
Establishment and inspection of employment offices
|
|
|
|
Monitoring lottery and gambling
|
|
|
|
Inspecting scales and measuring instruments
|
|
|
|
Thus, only 26 tasks entrusted to municipal councils remain out of 39 tasks provided for in the Law
