Extract from the minutes No. 19/306 of the meeting of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR dated June 25, 1929.
1. (1) On the village councils . (Int. Commission of Comrade Schmidt).
1.-a) Adopt the draft resolution of the Comrade Schmitdt Commission in the following edition:
Instruct the PC to develop a draft resolution on village councils in the Donbass and Kryvyi Rih regions within a week, taking the following provisions as a basis:
1) Lands assigned to enterprises and not directly related to production needs must be transferred, in accordance with existing laws, to village councils.
Note : Taking into account the prospects for the development of enterprises, the procedure for using the transferred land is established by an agreement between the administration of the enterprise and the village council.
2) Communal property and enterprises that are under the jurisdiction of the plant and mining administrations and are not directly related to their production activities, such as slaughterhouses, retail premises, baths that are not on the territory of the enterprise, etc., are transferred to the village councils.
As the payment of utilities is implemented, the village councils should be transferred to direct services to the population with utilities, such as: electric lighting, water supply, sewerage, etc., for which they are transferred to the appropriate utilities, in cases where they mainly serve the needs of the population of the working village. In those cases when these enterprises mainly serve the needs of the enterprise itself, they are not subject to transfer and public services are provided on the basis of agreements between village councils and enterprises, and the councils can be transferred to the management and administration of electric lighting and water supply networks.
3) Institutions of cultural and social significance, such as hospitals, schools, nurseries, etc. are transferred to the village councils. Clubs and other cultural and educational institutions run by trade unions are not subject to transfer to village councils.
4) Improvement of settlements belongs to the responsibilities of village councils, and the law must provide for mandatory participation in the costs of a certain amount for the improvement on the part of industrial enterprises.
5) From October 1, 1929, the entire housing stock belonging to enterprises, with the exception of premises located on the territory of the enterprise, is transferred to the jurisdiction of the village councils.
6) Simultaneously with the transfer of dwellings to the jurisdiction of the village councils, the rent will have to be collected on a general basis, in accordance with existing laws, and the difference between the rent established in accordance with existing laws and the rent established on the basis of the cost price must be transferred by industry to the village councils.
Determination of the cost is made in agreement with the village councils.
As the rent grows and it approaches the cost price, the subsidies to the village councils from the industry will have to decrease accordingly.
7) When the settlement councils distribute the housing stock, a special fund for coal regions should be allocated at the disposal of the administration of enterprises, and when building new dwellings, the administration is given the right, within the allocated funds, to reserve a certain part of the construction for the miners.
8) New housing construction in workers' settlements is carried out by settlement councils. It will be transferred to the village councils during 1929/30 and 1930/31, obliging the bodies of the Supreme Economic Council to carry out construction on the basis of special agreements with the village councils for the latter in cases where the councils are not sufficiently prepared.
Consider it necessary that, as the village councils become stronger and their budgets grow, the organizations conducting the construction of workers' dwellings for industry should be transferred to the jurisdiction of the village councils.
9) All the land transferred to the jurisdiction of the village councils must be transferred to them no later than October 1, 1929. The transfer of communal property must be made in such a way as to be completed by the beginning of the new budget year.
10) Propose to the government of the Ukrainian SSR and the RSFSR:
a) in connection with the transfer of communal, housing and other property to the village councils and an increase in the volume of its work, provide for an appropriate subsidy according to its budget, as well as such an increase in salaries to the leadership of the village councils, which would ensure the possibility of involving qualified workers in them;
b) pay special attention to the timely training of the management staff for the village councils.
11) To ask the Central Executive Committee of the Union, in order to amend its resolution of October 24, 1928 (pr. No. 69, p. 20), to propose the USSR Council of People's Commissars to approve this project in relation to the Ukrainian SSR and the RSFSR (Donbass and Krivoy Rog), giving the right to the union republics, by agreement from the Supreme Council of the National Economy of the USSR, to extend it to other regions.
Secretary of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR I. Miroshnikov .
