English Translation

61a - 8 -. Plans for the design of five HJ homes have been submitted by the HJ to the municipality, whose most rapid implementation I am managing. Unfortunately, despite the presentation of the draft. This is because the Gestapo has not yet given an opinion on a proposal from the city that I have submitted. Our proposal is that the Hitler Youth be granted a similar right of servitut to the Sagittarius Island, as was the case at that time with the National Guard. We only need the consent of the Gestapo and then all the conditions for the construction of the mentioned homes would be met. A considerable innovation in the whole construction of the city means the establishment of a monitoring and control centre for the whole building system, which was initiated at the German suggestion. Bie was subordinated to Arch. Schicketanz, who had the control carried out throughout Prague mainly by reliable German officials. It is necessary because the Chechens still use unregistered metal stocks, unlike the existing regulations, to build buildings, even in some places, without obtaining a building permit from the municipality. The abuse, which also extends to the construction of illicit huts and houses on the banks of the Vltava River, is only possible because up to now the city had no corresponding executive means available as a building authority. Crimes in this direction could be highest~ with 600.- K, thus a ridiculously small and ineffective sum. We have just taken steps with the President of the State to finally provide us with appropriate penalties. Finally, we have been given plans by the NS-Turngemeinde for the redesign of the German sports field at the Kaisermühle, for which about half a million crowns are required. I have basically agreed that this sum will be provided by the city, on condition that the cabins to be built, etc., remain the property of the city. We also intend to purchase the area of the sports field of the country Bohemia from the city, so that we will own the whole object, which we can then hand over to the NS-Turngemeinde for a portable recognition rate. 65153
