Samorząd miejski w Lublinie w początkach II Rzeczypospolitej
Municipal government in Lublin at the beginnings of Second Polish Republic

Summary/Abstract: A decree on municipal government of 4 February 1919, generally known as the „February decree” constituted the legal foundation for organisation of the municipal government and its functioning in the first years of Second Polish Republic. It was applicable and legally binding in one hundred and fifty cities of the former Congress Poland until the socalled „uniting act” of 23 March 1933 entered into force. Apart from presenting the legal grounds of the post-war municipal government in Lublin, the article also gives an outline of political relations in the city which had an impact on mutual relationships between local government authorities nominated in the course of first free democratic elections held in February 1919.
