Especially strong growth is also shown by the Eger. Fir Morgen mittag is for Aussig a water level of 87o with the tendency to climb"foresaid. This means against today's frost level a growth of 2.25 m. The highest level in 1940 was in AussIG 928 (this water level occurs on average only every 20 years, the highest level of 1890 was in Exsig 1005).

At present, the water levels 60-70 cn are above the last flood from early March of the year. It is a flood, K as it occurs only about every 20 years once. News: / 8.4. NB. Soben informs the hydrographic department of the state hearing in Brno on a call, that in Moravia so far disturbing flood melts have not been received. The rains of the last days were not particularly strong there. The river flows show medium high water levels, which have to lead back to the snow melt in the higher locations. At present it snows also in Brno, so that eueh here at first greater growth of the river flows is not to be feared. 4 Mr f bo Chief Government Councillor Dr. G i e s 20t/67 in the H a u s e Referring to the telephonic message $\$-1}$ with the request for information. see @. 8 /
