ABSTRACT

The expenditure per inhabitant of Boulogne-Billancourt was smaller than that of poor communist towns such as Saint-Denis and Gennevilliers and that of rich gaullist town such as Neuilly-sur-Seine. This low level of Boulogne-Billancourt was due to the small size expenditure in the area of road, education and welfare. The low level expenditure limited the intervention of the socialist municipal government of the town. Furthermore, the proportion of personnel expenses and contingents exceeded greatly that of Saint-Denis, Suresnes and Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1949-1965, even if the annuity of Boulogne-Billancourt remains at a low level. As a result, this socialist government of the town between 1949 and 1965 had greater unchangeable expenditure than Saint-Denis and Neuilly-sur-Seine. If we consider that Boulogne-Billancourt was one of the communes in the Seine which attained the highest taxable wealth, it’s relatively low expenditure and it’s highest unchangeable expenses were resulted from the timid policy of the socialist municipal government of Boulogne- Billancourt. Therefore, it was in these unfavorable conditions of the communal autonomy relatively limited that the socialist government should deploy their municipal politics in 1949-1965.
