commune
[edit]In the polish law system there is not category commune in oposition to the town. The communes are a selfgovernement units includig towns, countries or both. In polish tradition the name of town mayor is "Burmistrz" (cames from german burgermeister) and the rural commune mayor name is "wójt". The Selfgovernement act of 16.03.1990 says that also the name of commune mayor includig town and countries in which the townhall is situated in this town is "burmistrz". So in the case when the commune is composed with the town and countries and the townhall is situated in the village then the comune mayor is named "wójt". The place is a town (city) when is called townt in offical act of the Prime minister of the Gouvernement. (historically by the king). So in Poland there are a small places called towns (eg. Lendyczek in 1970-is was a tawn with 700 persons of inhabitants) and biger places called villages (eg. Koziegłowy with 30,000 inhabitants). Hawever historically the towns and the countries was separated and to the 1990 there was the oposition town - commune. The communist governement created unilateraly governemental administration system in the place of the selgovernemental units eg. the towns and the communes. But the name "town" and "communes" was used for the state administration units. In 1975 there was created new sistem of governemental administration with bigger communes. The opposition town - communes was still lived but for practical reasons the mayor was one for the both; the town and the neighbor commune. When the selfgovernement was restituated the inhibitnas of them was asked if they want to be in one comune or two. Becouse of it in this moment oposition town - comune in no more actualy.

Janowiec

| “ | Poznan district, Poland. The 19th century community reached a peak Jewish pop. of 199 (out of total of 645) in 1871. A synagogue was consecrated in 1894. Of the few Jews remaining in Sept 1939, three were murdered by the Germans and the rest were expelled into General Government territory. | ” |
Should this town be listed on this page? — Reinyday, 04:12, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
No. District in 1871, and current have too different teritories. Moreover, I cannot localise this "Janowiec". Nearest place with this name is Janowiec Wielkopolski, but it never was in Poznań District. Radomil talk 23:33, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
