2.sheet on the activity report of the VV Primator deputy for the period from 1/10.- to 30/1l.194l. THE PRIMATOR-STELL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MAIN STATE PRAG. and the transfer of its rights to the city management. Furthermore, the question of whether the existing 13 magistrate services should continue to be maintained was addressed. We worked out a draft according to which, instead of the l3 existing magistrates, there are only 6 remaining offices, and instead of those which are dissolved for the duration of the war, they are to be built out of the branches of war economy. We have therefore requested that Körbern with Smichow, Breunau with Dewitz, Wissotschan with Fieben, Werschowitz with the Kgl.Weinbergen and Branik with Nusl be merged and the Magistrate services in Holleschowitz and Karolinenthal with the central offices merged. At the same time, proposals have been made to restrict the existing business area of the Magistrate's services in favour of the central offices, mainly in the concentration of business, registry office and finance matters. This request, which is pending the approval of the Oberlandrat, represents the decisive step towards the elimination of those administrative bodies and constitutional forms which still stemmed from the time of the municipal independence of the municipalities belonging to Gross-Prague. In the course of this development, it was also the case that the government commissioners of the individual Prague city quarters were dismissed on November 1st. Although this measure took place somewhat suddenly and was not entirely indifferent to the four German governmental commissioners, it nevertheless constituted a necessity. Finally, at the beginning of November, Mr Carl Schmid, President of Kraków /previously Stuttgart, was appointed representative of the Upper Land Council for the reorganization of the Prague City Council in the sense of the audit report, which, according to his calculations, was to make proposals for the final organization of the administrative structure, as well as for the operation and distribution of work over the course of about three months. As was the case at the time, all German officials and representatives of the municipality are currently available to Mr Schmid, just as the Czechs are instructed to provide all necessary information.
