The Östrau district will provide approximately 20l.000.- t/month preliminars in March, provided that traffic is able to run these quantities. 3./ Kladno district: Through the use of Jewish workers an increase in production was achieved this month. This area will supply around 67.ōðð.--t7month preliminare l06.666.-t/ in the month-March.

The figures compiled by the Transport Group show that in this year the wagon configuration has been even better than in the previous one. Nevertheless, the coal industry has to be established that the coals produced in the coalfields cannot be driven off. The coal industry has to repeatedly point out that everything must be done from the transport side, be it in terms of locomotives and wagons, to improve transport, in order to get rid of the coal generated in the Ostrava coalfield in good time. The fuel stock of the railways was on 23 February I942 ll.l days. - 3 -
