The purpose of Executive Order No. 334 is to amend Executive Order No. 256, series of 1957, by reclassifying certain municipal districts in the Philippines based on their average annual revenues from 1952 to 1955.

Section 2630-A of the Revised Administrative Code, as amended by section 1 of Republic Act No. 1515, provides the authority for the classification of municipal districts.

Municipal districts are classified based on their average annual revenues for the four fiscal years 1952 to 1955, as certified by the General Auditing Office.

The municipal district of Bucloc in Abra was classified as 4th class.

The municipal districts in Agusan are: Ebro (4th class), Prosperidad (4th class), and Las Nievas (2nd class).

Taraka is classified as a 2nd class municipal district.

The classification changes took effect as of July 1, 1956.

Executive Order No. 334 was signed by Carlos P. Garcia, President of the Philippines, and Juan C. Pajo, Executive Secretary.

The classification based on revenue affects the administrative categorization and fiscal management of municipal districts, possibly influencing budget allocations and governance.
