15 1941,Z. 2/149-194l Abt. 1, the replacement of dignified speakers by appointment of full-time designs for 1. the central administration, 2. the financial administration, . 3. the commercial enterprises, 4. the construction. Up to now a full-office department for the financial management and the commercial enterprise has been appointed. The appeal of forces for the main administration and the construction sector is under way. c. The Oberlandrat then ordered the limitation of the Magistrate services by decree of 13 October 1974, No. I 44l. In October 194, 7 magistrate services were to be converted into branches which, partly of the central administration, should be partly subordinated to the 6 magistral services received. Moreover, part of the previous remit of the magistrat services should be transferred to the central management. In November 194l I took the view that, during the war, it was not possible to dispense with the maintenance of the former external offices, but that it would be useful to transfer a substantial part of their tasks to the central services, and that all the magistrate services should be converted into branches and directly transferred to the Central Administration. This proposal has been implemented in detail, and in my proposals I assumed that the administration of the population must be accessible without excessive time and costs, but that, on the other hand, tasks which require little party traffic should be carried out in the interests of the uniformity of their handling.
