Copy. Lord Mayor Pilsen, 6 November 1944. of the City of Pilsen Z. Pr II1/5-44 Subject: Sunday service in vital urban offices. To the Ministry of the Interior - RAv- about the President of the State - RAV in P r a g XVI. On the basis of the present discussion with Mr. President Dr. On 4 consecutive Sundays, starting with 1 October 1984, these two departments were responsible for urgent matters from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m, and I was able to give a brief reply to Mr von Watter's question. I have tried to make this facility widely public, so that I can get an actual picture of whether there is a need for these measures or not. The press has in a striking way informed about this innovation. Except in the rooms of these offices designated for the parties, strikingly large posters were placed, which pointed out that in urgent cases also on Sundays will be held. The result of these efforts is a completely negative one so that after the last attempts of the 22nd October lf.Js. I stopped these measures again. In detail, the visit to these offices looked as follows: Food and Business Office: Sunday, the l.l0.l944: 1 Registration of a person who has travelled, 1 Deregistration for a deceased person; Sunday, 8.10.1944: No Registration, no Deregistrtion; Sunday 15.10.1944 : No Registration 3 Deregistrations, which were not completed, however, since the necessary order forms could not be provided by the merchants (Sundays- dra Sunday, 22.10.1944:1 Registration, 1 Abmeldung. Housing office: Sunday, 1.10.1944: 13 pre-languages, of which 4 Skoda workers, 8.10.1944: BB 4A4 15.10.1944 : 11 22.10.1944
