2 Treasurer s department. County councils were obliged to have county funds into which all receipts of the county, from whatever source, were paid. Payments were made to the county treasurer, who provided information about the county s financial affairs to its finance committee. The finance committee presented annually to the county council a budget containing estimated income and expenditure of the county fund, and provisions for raising the sum required to bridge the gap between the income and expenditure. Rates levied on the gross annual value of lands and heritages as they appeared on the Valuation Roll were required from ratepayers to meet any deficiency between the county s income and expenditure. Annual accounts of income and expenditure were compiled and presented for audit by an appropriate officer. The abstracts of accounts provide a summary overview of all the council s financial dealings. Valuation Rolls were first compiled in 1855 as a result of the Lands Valuation (Scotland) Act 1854 and produced annually from 1855 to Separate rolls were compiled for burghs and for counties. Parochial boards also compiled assessment rolls. They were used to establish the rateable value of property which provided the basis for local taxation and assessments on local services. Following local government re-organisation valuation rolls became the responsibility of Regional Councils. The valuation system was abolished in 1989 and replaced by the Community Charge. The valuation rolls for the County of West Lothian are held by West Lothian Council Archives and West Lothian Council Libraries. Those held in Falkirk Archives are duplicates.

3 County of West Lothian. Education Committee The Education (Scotland) Act 1918 established education authorities in every county to administer education on a county wide basis. School boards were abolished and replaced with school management committees for the management of individual schools or groups of schools. The functions of the education authority were transferred to county councils under the terms of the Local Authority (Scotland) Act, School management committees were replaced with education subcommittees or local education sub-committees by the Local Government (Scotland) Act, The Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1973 transferred the duties of county councils for education to regional councils in As education was a county and then a regional responsibility, records of the education authority are held in West Lothian Council Archives. Records of individual schools have been deposited in the appropriate local archives and are listed separately. Falkirk Council Archives holds the records for schools in Bo ness and Blackness which were formerly the responsibility of West Lothian.

19 Bo ness & Carriden District Council District councils in Scotland were set up in 1930 as part of the provisions of the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1929 (19 & 20 Geo. V, c. 25). Their powers differed from those of the district councils which existed from 1975 to They were formed in counties according to a scheme drawn up by each county council. They were composed partly of elected district councillors and partly of county councillors from the electoral divisions of the district. District councils replaced many of the functions of parish councils and district committees abolished by the 1929 Act. District councils often had various responsibilities delegated to them by the county council under a scheme of delegation drawn up the county. These responsibilities often included the letting of houses and the upkeep of cemeteries. Many district councils also administered poor relief until 1948 under a scheme of delegation but this function was taken away by the National Assistance Act, 1948 (11 & 12 Geo. VI, c. 64) which transferred such provisions to central government. District councils also administered special districts or committees responsible for certain functions such as scavenging or water provision financed by additional rates. District councils were abolished in 1975 by the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1973 (c. 65). Bo ness & Carriden District Council covered an area now administered by Falkirk Council. The records of all other former District Councils in the former County of West Lothian are held by West Lothian Council Archives.
