English Translation

.5 As soon as a registry office is established in accordance with the German model, the certificates relating to the status of the person will be assigned to it. 5. The department "Translation Service and Language Courses" / O04 / replaces the translation department. If the personnel of the department permits this, all matters related to bilingualism should be dealt with in it, otherwise this would be the task of the law firm of the primator. 6. The department of Wehrmacht affairs / 005 /shall replace the military department. It will have to deal with the recruitment of quarters for the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS. The name Quartier-Stelle was avoided, because the department should carry out all other transactions connected with the Wehrenmacht, such as horse and vehicle orders, participation in team and horse samples, cost invoices, etc. 7. The branches of the city administration /oo6/ receive their technical instructions from the individual specialized offices. However, the general supervision should be with the main office. For this reason they are listed at the departments of this office. The branches replace the former magistrates' services. Their business circles have been severely restricted with effect from 1 January 19942. When determining the scope of the task, it was taken into account that the traffic of the population with the urban services in matters which many inhabitants seem to need to be personal can take place at the branches. Furthermore, tasks requiring local knowledge and actions have been left with the branch offices. On the other hand, transactions which require uniform treatment have been centralised, and some of the operations withdrawn, such as the administration of levies and the maintenance of cash and invoicing offices, are still provisionally being carried out by the branch offices.
