1. Additional construction was observed on an underground air raid shelter generally
situated under a park located about one and one-half to two miles north of the
eastern harbor mole at Burgas. Informant observed quantitites of cement, sand, and
atone in this area plus activity by a labor force. This shelter is accessible from
the following positions
a. In the southwest part of the park at a point where a road leading out from the
harbor area terminates; the gates or doors at this entrance have not been in-
stalled;
b. At a casino or restaurant about one mile along the coast to the northeast of
the harbor; and
c. At two unascertained positions along the beach to the right and left of the
casino or restaurant.

breakwater and eastern mole from a point about 10 meters from the southwest tip
of the southern breakwater to the fuel storage depot located to the northwest of
the'harbor area. One of these pipes is used to carry gasoline and the other crude
