Comment. The daily coal consumption quotas listed are not definite.25X1
IV
The final daily coal consumption quotas will be fixed during June 1955.
The individual RBDs report the coal quantities allocated to them to the 25X1
DHZ (Deutsche Handels Zentralo (German Trade Central)) in Senftenberg
(for eastern districts) and the DHZ in Leipzig (for central districts), 25X1
The East Berlin branch office of DHZ Kohle is informed about the amounts
of hard coal to be delivered by Poland and the Zwickau mining district. 25X1
Comment. The total actual coal consumption
was reported previously.
The figure deviates
slightly from that given in the pre: en tabulation vThich in addition
breaks the total coal consumption down according to months and RBDs. All 25X1
figures indicate tone in briquette units (BU).
Comment. These data supplement previous information
25X1
Comment. No comparable data are available. 25X1
Comment. Coal stocks avaible permit the daily allocation of 8,896
tons of brown coal briquettes and 5,766 tons of hard coal (8,649 tons BU)
or a total of 17,545 tons (BU). The average daily coal consumption
by East German locomotives is, however, 20,000 to 21,000 tons. The
balance has to be made up by other type coal.
