At the International Congress of Administrative Sciences, held in Paris, June 20, 1926, took part from Romania Alexandrina Cantacuzino, a member of The Communal Council of Bucharest City Hall. On her return, she submitted a report to the mayor Ion Costinescu in which she makes a detailed description of the work of the Congress and the issues discussed. From this exposure, the subjects treated were of great importance for the progress of urban administrative organization. Two issues have the attention of the audience: communal autonomy and tax collecting. Concerning the first issue, the Romanian delegate reffers to the paper of the representative of Germany, professor Norden, relating the autonomy of the German cities, and that of doctor Huart, on the progress accomplished in the communal autonomy of Netherlands. In particular, however, the delegate of Romania insists on the report of the Italian representative, Jean Aldega Valde, which included ideas entirely new about the fact that the Governor of Rome adopted for registration of the roles and the sheets, the machine called Tiparitoarea de adrese (i.e. The Address’ Printing), the system was a real innovation, which was strongly recommended by the Romanian delegate to the mayor of Bucharest. For the novelty of the issues discussed and the possibility of their implementation and administration in our cities, Alexandrina Cantacuzino presented this report, as a summary, at the Congress of the Union of Towns in Romania, that took place in Constanta, in the fall of 1927.
