4 Copy of the Oberlandrat in Jglau. Jglu,on 9th January 1940.Act.Z.Com.208. To the O Herr Regierungskommissär der Stadt J G IAU. Subject: Review of municipal finances in JGlau by officials of the Examination Office in the Reichsministeriun. Reference: Your report from the 4th January 1994 - Act.Z- Supplements: none. On the basis of your written request for a review of the financial management of the city of Jglau, the Herr Reichs- protektor has asked the Minister of the Interior to send a group of examinations of the Reichsministerium to Jglu.The Herr Reich Ministry has already complied with this request.The Reichsdeutsche Gemeindeprüfer will arrive in Jglau tomorrow, as far as I know.I ask you to make the appropriate preparations until then, so that the examination can be carried out without any delay. An explicit order of overprincipalization by the Lord Reichsprotektor is unnecessary according to the present state of the matter. Their view that a review of the pinances on the part of the Reich under inconsistencies causes a negative impression at the head of the authority in Brno is absurd. In order to comply with the formal provisions of budgetary law, the corresponding expenditure should be reviewed without violating a constitutionally guaranteed right of the protectorate administration. It will be no different here than with the numerous extraordinary expenditures of the city, which in the liberation year l939 would be carried out safely by the management of the town.
