Abstract
<jats:p>In August 1939, the аdministration of the Danube Banovina conducted an inspection of administrative activities in the Municipality of Žabalj. The inspection focused primarily on notarial affairs, as well as on the examination of the municipal treasury and accounting practices. Furthermore, the review encompassed municipal prisons, official positions, statutes, personnel registers, records of associations, and the registers of births, marriages, and deaths. The state of the municipal cash office, tax collection procedures, property seizures, and related matters were likewise subject to scrutiny. The irregularities identified during the inspection were to be remedied by the municipality within a period of three months, after which a detailed report was required to be submitted. On 22 December 1939, the municipality forwarded its report to the competent authority, indicating which deficiencies had been rectified and which were scheduled to be corrected in the subsequent year.</jats:p>
