Archival historyThe Local Government (Scotland) Act 1929 (19 & 20 Geo. V, c.25) required county councils to draw up a scheme of district councils, to be composed partly of directly elected district councillors and partly of the county councillors from electoral divisions within the district. District councils and various responsiblities delegated to them but the county council under a scheme of delegation. These might include the letting of houses, the upkeep of cemeteries and until 1948 the poor law. District councils also adminsitered special districts or committees responsible for certain functions such as scavenging or water supply, financed by additional rates. Western No 3 District Council was abolished in 1975 by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 (c.65) and responsibility for these functions was transferred to the new Strathkelvin District Council.
