- 6 - 23 II. Administrative matters. 1.) General administration, community work with party, authorities and organizations. 2,) Administration of the municipalities and community associations, The confiscations to the Wehrmacht have reached such a level that in many municipalities the honorary mayors and associates have to lead besides the scattering of their own farm or their own farmer's farm - in some cases even the supervision of the agriculture of a neighbour - also also ai Ahrenamten of the party (cell or block administrator) and of the Reichnährstana (local farmer leader). The complaints concerning the excessive use of these civil servants are growing louder and louder; however, it is not possible to change the state of affairs; the men who remain in the country must bear the entire workload of the community and the party. The only way to make it easier is to ensure that they are not flooded every day with new and only integrated provisions, particularly in the area of the economy of the agricultural sector, and that all non-enforcement measures are not taken to prevent such sides of the party, which are important for the war. 3.) Transport systems. The ncuerical reduction of the diesel quota led to the closure of Diasel-Lkw. The resultant failure could be compensated by İreibgasfahrzeuge. Due to the low allocation of petrol, the passenger cars which were discontinued as bchelfslieferwege can often not be exploited. This is why the conversion of a number of these vehicles to the propellant gas which has recently been abundantly generated is being sought. The air raid on the municipality of Wiesengrund has resulted in a strong fuel consumption. According to the calculation of the economic office of the district Mies, 4 000 kg of diesel and 2 o0o 1 carburettor fuel were necessary for the Monet May. 1 O00 ke diesel and 1 O000 1 carburettor fuel, delivered only 750 kg and 900 l. These quantities are insufficient to meet the needs arising from the conditions in meadow ground. The fuel reserves of the fire brigades and the SHD in different circles were also unduly claimed by the use in Wiesengrund. In order to provide compensation, considerable reductions had to be made in the month of May for passenger cars, planned quantities and passenger cars were closed down. In the town of Kerlsbad the bus service set before some Zuit to save fuel and materials was resumed on Sundays to the station, because the strong spa guest traffic made this necessary. For the same reason there are still nine power draughts in Bstrieb, but this can only be used by the sick, wounded and travellers with large luggage. 4.)
