The study deals with the implementation of the key administrative reform (the so-called Organizational Act No. 125/1927 Coll.) in Slovakia as a prerequisite for the unification of the political administration in Czechoslovakia. With the adoption of the Act, district offices became the basic unit of state administration throughout the territory of the state. The first part of the paper describes the circumstances of the adoption of the law as part of the political negotiations leading to the formation of the new government and the effects of this compromise on the form of the law and the territorial division of political administration. In the next part, the workings of the district authorities in Slovakia are examined based on inspection reports in comparison with the Czech lands, especially in relation to the personnel issue. In the last part, the study focuses on the corps of district chiefs who headed the district offices and thus represented the most important representatives of state power at the local level. It examines their age, origin, education, and experience and compares them with the situation in the Czech Lands. The study links the slow implementation of the administrative reform and the problematic operation of the district authorities mainly to the absence of supervision by the superior authorities and the lack of suitable senior officials. It notes that the selection of district chiefs was subject, in addition to professional criteria, to political discretion, which, however, led to the lack of adequate skills and experience on the part of some district chiefs.
