sentially charged with the assess- 
ment of direct taxes, and the super- 
intendance of money arising from 
the public revenues in their terri- 
tory. The legislative body deter- 
mines the rules, and the mode of 
their functions, both upon these 
gbjects and the other parts of the 
interior administration. 
igi. The executive directory no- 
Minates tq cach departmental and

tions are subordinate to the admi- 
" nistrations of department, and the

quence, the ministers (each in his 
department) may annul the acts 
of administrations of department, 
and the latter, the aéts of munici. 
pal administrations, when those acts

orders of superior authorities.

pend the administrators of depart,

ment is definitive without the for. 
mal confirmation of the executive 
direftory. 
196. The dire€tory may also an. 
nul immediately the acts of depart. 
mental or municipal administra.

necessary, the administrators either 
of department or canton, and 
send them before the tribunals of 
department when there is ground 
for it.

nulment of ats, suspension, or re- 
moval of administrators, must have 
reasons assigned for it.

a departmental administration are 
removed, the executive direftory 
provides for replacing them rill the 
following eleétion; but it cannot 
choose their provisional successors, 
but amoug the ancient administra- 
tors of the same department. 
199. The administrations, either 
of department or of canton, cannot 
correspond with one another, but

upon the general interests of the 
republic.
