Prague, 15 June 1944. Minister of State SS-Obergruppenführer K.H.Fr a n k DER PRIMATOR-STELLVERTRETER THE MAIN CITY PRAG. Prague AI Czerninpalais. G.Z.691/44 Pr.St. 16 JUNE1944 Very esteemed Minister of state By your decree of 9/2/2/J. number St.M. A number of senior officials, including the President of the State, were allowed to use their official cars for the journey from home to office and back. Since the primator of the capital city of Prague does not fall under this favor, Primator Dr.Riha let me know that it becomes difficult for him to use the crowded tramway for the journeys to the office and back and that he therefore decided to use again the horse-drawn carriages used by the primators. Since then, the Primator has travelled daily to and from the town hall in the carriage, which has been covered with two moulds and which is specially designed for this purpose. Unfortunately, the decision of the Primator shows that a few strong horses are completely blocked for a different use, although the municipal transport office needs each pair of horses for the most vital journeys / ash removal etc./ most urgently. Likewise, the coachman mentioned above is withdrawn from any other work by this special order, although the Primator still has a chauffeur at his disposal for any service journeys with the motor vehicle. With regard to these and other inconsistencies, I therefore propose that the Primator be allowed to immediately convert his motor vehicle to urban gas and grant him the right to travel from the apartment to the office and back Fh/8t-s1 W1S
