0999-9068 U r s c h i f t l i c h Dr. G i e s, Chief Government Councillor, with the following report: According to the findings I made, concrete cases of acquisition of land in connection with the capital formation of Czechs working in Germany could not be identified here. It is also said that no effective change of ownership has taken place in the Tehechian regions beyond the normal level. However, it is generally confirmed that there is considerable demand from Czech circles on the real estate market, with a sharp shortage of supply. However, this is usually referred to as the reason that in the Czech public there is fear of a devaluation of money and therefore the great interest in the acquisition of real estate comes. As there are limits to stockpiling and Czech industrial circles expect to be encouraged to use their raw materials to avoid workers' dismissals, some of the guarantors surveyed believe that the desire to preserve the substance is reflected in the survey on the real estate market. The little ones needed for these purposes have to come from the still existing thesauration, which is estimated to be at least 2 billion kroner. In addition, I was confirmed that the Czech authorities strongly adhered to their acquis and were also supported here by relatives or other Czechs. 1)8 A large number of applications were submitted to Ct. S.bya in the case of the staff of the Oberlandrats, in whose hands the permit for the transfer of property is in the form of property.
