%X This paper is an attempt to present the beginnings of civil service and units of local government in the Lubaczów district as well as organizing, supplementing and verifying the previous findings, particularly because the formation and functioning of local authority here differed from other areas. That was a result of a series of factors, among which the major one seems to be the fact that the authorities and the apparatus of security and public order were controlled by members of the Polish underground state. Indeed, there used to be districts in which members of the underground were part of local government and district authorities, however nowhere did they prevail to such an extent and for so long. In addition, we should notice the vague state affiliation and the Polish-Ukrainian war going on since the spring of 1944. The above mentioned factors and the lack of any structures of the Polish Workers’ Party (PPR) here were the reasons for that exceptional political situation in the Lubaczów district.
