Note_about_the_assignment_of_meat. On the basis of your suggestion, the Bohemian-Mährische Verband for regulating the trade in slaughter cattle has been able to determine the type of allocation of meat for the butchers bound to the distribution point in Aurschinewes. In the given case it was the butcher Pelikán, Meudubtolie, which in the week from l5. to 20. The administrator of the distribution centre justified this fact on record in the following way: At the allocation of cattle on April 7, 194l the butcher Peli- kán was not present personally, but sent his representative. The administrator of the distribution centre assigned to Pelikán 1 piece of cattle on the basis of his claim, but his representative did not register at the time of the declaration of the name Pelikan. The administrator kept for a certain time the piece of cattle intended for the Pelikán as a reserve for him and since no one later registered, the administrator was forced to assign the piece to another butcher whose claim had not yet been met. In order to allocate the piece, the meat-breasted Pelikán only reported about l/2 l2 when the piece was already slaughtered and the meat was collected. As a result, the manager could not change his decision any more and could not allocate another piece to the cattle. In the next week from 2l to 27. In April, a cow class a/ was assigned to the Pelikán and in the following week, from 27th to 4th of April, he was assigned a calf grade a/. Out of these 2 assigned pieces, the Pelrikán exploited 6l7 kg of meat.
