The Ministry of Religions issued an order today which seems to be aimed at checking the arbitrary action of Roumanian officials in regard to the Kehillah boards.
The Ministry declared in instructions sent out to the provincial authorities that the prefects of police have no right to dissolve the administrative boards of the Jewish Kehillahs. This right is reserved for the Ministry of Religions, it was pointed out.
