Beside this committee, there was also a Municipal Board. In 1884, the committee was expanded to 21 according to the 3rd rule of Bengal Municipality act 1884. In 1921, the headquarter was shifted to the Municipality Building established near Sona Dighi, Rajshahi. In 1930, 8 municipal committees were formed. The members of the councils were elected by vote for one year. Each committee had separate functions, such as public sanitation and health, public safety, welfare, education and water supply.
