Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to use the example of Dobczyce to present selected problems faced by the governments of small cities of the former Austrian partition of Poland at the turn of the 1920s and 1930s. To critically assess the town’s municipal government, the author has examined its functioning mechanisms, management of public property, as well as budget structure. The source basis were the documents related to the inspection of the municipal economy in Dobczyce carried out in 1932, which pointed to many acts of negligence and abuse, as well as to the fact that the local administration did not manage the budget well.
