English Translation

In this consumer sector, the supply situation has not changed significantly since the last reporting. /Prager Gemeinde-Gaswerk; fuel supply on 24.2.1942: 10 days /. House fire. The reduction in the cold also results in a decrease in the numerous effluents from this consumer industry. Where special barriers existed after the notification of the Oberlandrats or district authorities, further allocations have mitigated these disturbances. For the whole Protectorate, the following shortfalls occur due to the dichotomy of the mentioned difficulties in the domestic fire sector up to 31 January 19942: 1 month coal 318.099,- t over 2 months coke 23.424.- t 1/2 month The quantity of coal missing corresponds to a 1 1/2 month quota. The aid action for Gross-Prague announced in the 5th and 6th reports has taken place and has so far been loaded by Aussig l9.50o.-t. The affidavit required under the guidelines for this additional coal has shown that consumers are suddenly excluded from their requirements and do not return to the coal trader in question. In order to carry out in good time the stockpiling operation planned for the new coal industry year I942/43 via the Vltava waterway, it has been established, following inquiries from the head of the river basin waterways and inland waterways, that it is not possible to make Moldova navigable prematurely with the help of the local icebreakers. The weak defences and the difficulties on the Elbe, caused by the free-flowing Moldovan ice floes, thus prohibit the premature supply of domestic fires to Gross-Prague and Umgebung, as well as to the sugar factories located in the Vltava. In cooperation with/involvement in retail trade and the coalmining group, the various disturbances which have occurred in the past year, particularly in the domestic fire sector, e.g. timely stockpiling, unfair distribution, etc., are already to be eliminated. -4
