In fact, apart from the above reasons, the abolition of the Urban Services Department was not unrelated to the corruption and inaction of some principal officials of the Urban Services Department at that time. For example, a Commissioner of the Urban Services Department in chandy, 1926, took office only 10 months ago, and caused tens of thousands of people to demonstrate in Beihai because of "taking bribes and bending the law", shouting the slogan of "down with Chen, a corrupt official" and calling on the higher authorities to remove Chen.
