Regional Council Menashe (named after the biblical tribe Manasseh) is situated
around Eiron road (road 65), NE to E of Hadera.
Est. 1950. Pop. 12,000 in 19 settlements. In my visit I spotted a
green flag with black emblem. However the Regional Council sent
me a blue desk flag with yellow emblem. The municipal emblem was
published in the official gazette (Rashumot),
'Publications Gazette' section (Yalkut HaPirsumim), YP
1039, p. 28, 2 October 1963.

letter from Mrs. Gita Timor, Mayor's Bureau Chief, 10 October
2001; desk flag.
