The general laws of the State impose a certain number of obligations on the selectmen, which they may fulfil without the authorization of the body they represent, but which they can only neglect on their own responsibility.
Estatuko lege orokorrek halako betebehar batzuk ezarri dizkiete selectmen horiei. Lege hauek betetzeko ez dute administratuen baimenik behar, eta ezin dituzte bete gabe utzi beren erantzukizun pertsonala konprometitu gabe.
