The shortage of petroleum by the low level /8 %/ is continuing. The quantity of working shoes has been mitigated by the fact that at the beginning of January the Ministry of Trade assigned 60,000 reference instructions for working shoes to the head office of the workers' associations with the approval of industrial enterprises employing more than 20 persons. According to the report of the district authority in Pibrans, the reference instructions lapse as a result of a lack of goods. Be - especially difficult the laying in the supply of rubber - shoes. Leather deliveries cover 1/4 of the demand. Some regions do not want to take over the assigned subpart waste as goods which would be suitable for the shoe repair to be carried out as marginal work. The lack of warm fabrics, of fabrics for working clothes and of warm linen continues. By prohibiting the issue of cheques for the usual mass of tires for trucks, the operation of these vehicles is threatened, and it is to be feared that vehicles with a high load capacity will have to be removed from operation very soon. In the case of heavy goods vehicles, less than half of the checks were carried out, and in the case for secondary vehicles, slightly more than half the requirements were met. In the cases of passenger cars, the requirements for 20 % of the time for solu- tions were met, and the district authority in Ledetech a.d.s. did not have any assignments of instructions for lahrad coats.
