Another translation question

[J F Levin]

In the Pamyatnaya knizhka Kovenskago guberniya 1861, in the lists of 
offices of various towns, they each seem to have
a "kvartirnaya komissiya".  Since I don't think this is just an 
"apartment commission", I wonder if it was something like
a "quartering komission", perhaps making recommendations to the army 
regarding appropriate housing for military?
