Note 4 — Chapter LII · VLADIVOSTOCK.
Reading edition
In Russian towns having not less than 5,000 inhabitants there are 30 supervisors, three more being added for each 1,500 of the population; and it is over these the mayor presides. Other civic arrangements, applying to towns, are an uchastok, consisting of from 10 to 20 houses; a quartal, or square, or block; a chast, consisting of from five to ten quartals; and a government town of three chasts and upwards. The police-master is at the head of affairs; under him is a chastny pristaf for each chast, under whom are chiefs of quartals, with uchastok officers under them.
