In this article the trade with rock and sea salt of one of the biggest sales companies established in the town of Svishtov in the 50s of the 19th century in the region of Vlashko has been traced. The available quantitative data available in Tsvyatko Radoslavov’s unpublished archive have been processed by outlining daily business practices in this trade and the scope of the company’s activities as well as defining the company’s profitability. Different periods of the company’s activity have been outlined, as well as the trading network of the imported salt from Romanian cities and the sale of salt in Svishtov and in the North of Bulgaria. This article is a contribution to the studying of different specific mechanisms of the trade and the justification of the thesis that Svishtov has been one of the main centres of salt trade on the southern Danube bank during the period of the Bulgarian National Revival.

Bulgaria is in the development stage, where significant investments are needed in order to create and use appropriate electronic government. Part of the idea of building an e-government is related to the scope of services that municipalities provide. For these reasons it is important from a theoretical and practical standpoint to clarify whether the factors for creating functional e-local government are properly defined. For this purpose, in the paper we use a survey for the level of information systems and technologies in municipalities and on that basis we determine some opportunities for building online services in local administrations. Some characteristics are considered in the development of information systems for the needs of the local administration. We present the processes of awareness of the information need, definition of information problem, definition of the purpose and scope of the system, development of task specification, evaluation of economic efficiency, and implementation of the system. On this basis, the possibilities are derived to assess the economic efficiency of investments in information technologies and software in the municipal administration. Finally, conclusions are formulated.
