If work continues to continue, it may be assumed that 70 containers will be eligible as a minimum construction program in this year. Together with the police president, we have called on representatives of all sections of the population to volunteer for these construction companies. Of course, these voluntary work assignments are set quite certain limits due to the extremely restricted material situation. Since the l./4.l944 also 2l trench systems have been completed in splinter protection ditches, so that currently a total level of 45 systems with a version room for 87oo persons is available. 38 further systems for the reception of 7600 persons are under construction.- Although four new building columns could be used for the protection space construction in the houses at the beginning of the year, we had to convince ourselves that the progress of the work was too slow in the now practiced perfect extension of the individual protection rooms. We have therefore agreed with the President of the Police that only the splinter protection measures and the breach of the wall are to be carried out, thereby achieving a much faster construction progress.- In the field of immediate measures, the basic organizational measures are terminated, even if the processing will take place until the smallest even longer time. With the allocation of l0.ooo straw bags in the very last time and the possibility to buy other equipment for emergency accommodation, a substantial improvement of this important care facility bomb-damaged has occurred in the last months.-td neg In recent months, the cultural office of the capital Prague had an intensive organisation of air protection in schools. In particular, the building columns of the Air Protection Office have set up the protective trenches at the school buildings.
