324 Prague, July 1, 1939. Merhn ndo l t . It appears presented section chief Novak and Ministe rialret Dr. Razim and pre-loaded the president of the Generalfi nanzdiroktion Brachtl in retirement. There is the statement of Dr. Razim from June 1, 1939 unresolved, as far as this is on pages 9 et seq. Brachtl: I shall stick to yesterday's statement that I do not wish to see the assets collected in the course of the year. The Commission has taken six years to determine the values due to staff shortages. Razim explains this: I remain at the same time, that the permanent different attachment of the property levy seems to me justified by nothing. However, the fact of the coercive measures from this sliding property tax seems much more unjustified to me. If one introduced the compulsory administration in the year l925 and before for approx. 54 million Ke. Furniture seized fruit-free, this process was only justified if the taxes owed were legally established. Furthermore, I ask the foreman Nykl before the President of the General Financial Directorate, for which reason he did not go to him in the year l925/26 as a trauon man of the Brachtl and, in the interest of the impermanence of taxes on the imprehensible impacts of the Hodza wood and the reduction of the subject matter, he was attentively reminded that he could stop this activity as a high state-emphasised one in the interests of the Stcuer. Nykl explains: In the year l925 and 26 no wood was cut at all on the so-called Hodzn pastures. This was only begun in 1927 at Razim times. It is quite true that I should have gone to the president of Brachtl as a forced administrator in order to see him on the threatening visions of devostiorisation and impairment
