7.Notes to the activity report of the primator deputy for the period from 1/8. to 30./9.1941. THE PRIMATOR-STELL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MAIN CITY PRAG. it was stated that very many workers had been deprived of the municipal park office. Although this information may also be true in the main case, it has now been possible to make a decisive contribution to the expansion of the sports field by concentrating the remaining workers of the park office. Essentially important are the results of a study trip by the civil engineering officer Ing. He was able to gain important experience for the entire street construction industry, which was to find their particular use during the further road construction activities in Prague. Very important was among other things the following: its reference to the fact that in the rich the costs of road construction are largely denied from the contributions from the residents, while the investment contributions in Prague, which correspond to the contributions of the neighbours of the empire, are at a very low level. When comparing the conditions in Prague with those in Dresden and Berlin, it also came to the fore that the old-time cities largely award urban construction works to private companies, while in Prague they are mainly carried out in urban self-direction. The fact that Berlin employs hardly 200 workers for road construction, while its number in Prague exceeds 2000.In the meantime, it has already been prompted to reduce this figure to about 1 200. The requirements that the labour office placed on the city of Prague for the release of surplus forces could be met in part. It seems impossible to reduce the number of urban communication workers at the moment when workers represent a valuable capital. On this occasion, by the way, it should be pointed out that, from these special conditions in Prague, the extraordinary amount of staff expenditure in the Prague budget is well understood. In view of this peculiarity of the allocation of urban work, very high expenditures had to appear as staff costs on a budget basis.
