Reichsauftragsverwaltung. - As every year in this year the winter months meant a very considerable tension of all branches of the administration, although it may be noted with satisfaction that the behavioural mildness of the weather excluded the most severe loads. Nevertheless, the cold break in the Feber, which continued until March, put individual areas to a hard test. The RAV also felt the effects very strongly. Above all, the Wirtschaftsamt had to agree with the fact that the requirements of the German population for subscriptions of the most different kind increased abruptly, without a corresponding increase of the quotas could have been made. The complaints of the population resulting from these misrepresentations had to be disenfranchised by the head of the business office of the district management of the NSDAP. by a detailed account of the true facts. He was able to point out that in determining the German quota, RAV not only states that the German population is not too low, but that it is not insignificantly increased in order to make the distribution possibilities more favourable to the Germans of the district of Prague. Nevertheless, in the first quarter the fact remained that domestic and sneakers as well as light street footwear and wooden shoes were not available at all and only 174 pairs of street shoes and 406 pairs of work shoes could be issued for special professional classes in March of the year. - By order of lll./l.1944 the bridal equipment was re-regulated.- bottlenecks arise again and again in the supply of aviator damage, heavy war injured and others urgent to treat- the need carriers in the equipment with textiles, furniture, dishes etc., without being within the scope of our possibilities, 2838S
