36 - 8 - he precautions that this proceeds benefited the Coburg heirs, whether it be by crediting the preliminary property tax or by cash disbursement to the heirs against deposit at the court. Finally, I would like to say here that a remuneration to the heirs of Coburg for this timber ro r a d on the initiative of the Ministry of Agriculture for the purpose of the compensation to the Coburger then took into the dohoda of 24.Mäirz 1928. Of course, it is a very small amount and the same has nothing to do with the woodcuts. Even after the transfer of the goods, countless attempts were made by all possible agents of Prince Philipp Josias to get the wood paid. We in the Land Office had no possibility for this, but I would like to say that the demand did not seem unjustified to me. I have been asked to join the Minister of Agriculture Bradac, later to the Minister for Agriculture Dr. Zadina, where the damage had finally been done. There, too, nothing seems to have been done, where things were pushed back to the soil office and said that the property soi in the soil roform was taken over by the soil authority, the damage was co-regulated in the taking-over prois. However, this latter indication was not true, we only paid for the land. This whole chapter of Hodza-Weiden is an extremely treacherous chapter in the treatment of the Coburg property, which for years also poisoned the public atmosphere to the most difficult, because in connection with it a whole number of officials were always attacked and suspected, who had nothing to do with the matter at all, namely the officials of the Land Office. The fact that we were not able to compensate for this damage in the budget of the Land Office when we took over the Coburgische Güter is not our fault. For this we had no means at all. These could only come from the budget from the Ministry of Agriculture. If they had been put into this budget, then there would be a whole misconduct.
