English Translation
As regards the use of the municipal housing office, it should be noted that according to the report of the clerks, they were parties who could have called either themselves or represented by a relative even on weekdays. The main reason for the audition on Sunday is to see that the parties talked about a lower traffic and therefore hoped to be dealt with more quickly. The fact that the number of visitors in the apartment office is reduced once and for all confirms that there was no real need. In Pilsen's factories, which are important for the war, change shifts are used throughout, the division of which makes it possible for the workers to handle matters at the offices even on weekdays. At the Skodawerke the institution met that in the individual departments are destined people, who also during the working hours free, in order for themselves and the workmates of their closer group to complete the necessary courses to the offices and services. In this context, I would also like to point out that the experience gained in the hairdressing industry has produced a similar result. I wanted to see the introduction in Pilsen that work is being done from 2 to 3 days a week until 9 p.m. and that the last hours should be mainly for hair cutting. The professional organization of hairdressers has taken the view from the outset that there would be no need for this measure. I then agreed to arrange for the opening of the hairdressing shops until 19.3o clock for all days. This facility has been running for a few weeks now, but in agreement I am told that very few customers arrive in the period from 18 - 19.3o clock. All these experiences do not make the introduction of a Sunday or evening service seem expedient. I would like to point out that the Sunday service requires the heating of some premises and other facilities, which cause an unreasonably large amount of effort in relation to success. It is also necessary to give the employees who carry out the special service replacement free of charge on other days, which, however, causes difficulties. I could therefore not be responsible for the further implementation of the Sunday service.
