Toronto's Board of Control was a part of its municipal government until its abolition in 1969. It served as the executive committee of the Toronto City Council, consisting of four councillors elected city-wide and presided over by the Mayor. Beginning in 1904, the Board of Control was directly elected by the city's electorate. Each voter could vote for up to four candidates, and the four with the most votes were elected. By tradition the controller who received the most votes would get the powerful budget chief position. ==Functions== Under the ''Municipal Act'', the Board of Control had the following duties and powers:〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = https://archive.org/stream/v7revisedstat1990ontauoft#page/298/mode/2up )〕 #the preparation and certification of all estimates for expenditures #the preparation of specifications for tenders, and making awards thereon # the nomination to council of all heads of departments and related staff, and the recommendation of appropriate salaries #the inspection and reporting (at least monthly) on all municipal works carried on or in progress #the submission of by-laws to the council #the authority to amalgamate departments and sub-departments #other powers as the council has delegated by-law or resolution With respect to the first three items, the board's actions could only be overturned by a two-thirds vote of the council. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Toronto Board of Control」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
