. The Latgiproprom Institute in Riga
1. The Latgiproprom (Latviyskiy Gos. Institut "Latgiproprom"),
ann industrial planning institute, located on Lenina Street, Riga, was
formed in 1958 (when the sovnarkhoz was established) by a merger of
planning organizations which had previously been subordinate to different
ministries. The institum was normally employed in the design of new
industrial plants for the three Baltic States and Kaliningrad Oblast. In
the late 1950's, however, it mainly planned the re.ntegration and expansion
of existing industrial enterprises.
2. The institute had the following organization:
a. Cadres department (otdel kadrov).
b. Special department (spets otdel), which maintained security

d. Planning department (planovy otdel).
e. Technical department (tekhnicheskiy otdel).
f. Cost department (smetny otdel).
g. Electrotechnical department (elektrotekh. otdel), which designed
electricity and internal communications networks; it also had
an automation section which designed machinery for plants planned
by the institute.
h. Construction department (stroitelny otdel), which included an
iddustrial construction section and a civil construction section
which designed workers' housing projects.
i. Thermotechnical department (teplo-tekhnicheskiy otdel), which
designed turbines, steam plants, and central heating installations.
j. Sanitary-technical department (san-tekhnicheskiy otdel).
k. Soil testing department (geo-iziskaniy otdel).
1. Transportation department (transportny otdel), which planned
botrnal and external transportation facilities for industrial plants.
m. About 20 technological departments fvr industrial branches including
textiles, paper, construction materials, meat and milk products,
clothing, timber, metals, leather, electronics, chemicals, peat,
and machines, all of which were headed by experts.
3. The Chief Engineer's Office (B'uro Glav. Inzh. Proyektov) of the
institute employed only specialists in certain industrial fields who directed
and coordinated the respective planning projects of the departments. These
specialists were also responsible for presenting completed projects to the

appropriate sovnarkhoz committees, for maintaining contact with the
designated contractors, for systematically inspecting the building work,
and for insuring the execution of plant construction according to the
original plans.
4. In 1959 the institute was still housed in a temporary building
and was in the process of reorganization. Of the approximately 300
employees, about 30 percent were engineers.
5. The following planning projects were executed by the institutqtn
1958 and 1959:
a. Expansion and modernization of two paper combines in Kaliningrad,
both of which were to be re-equtpped with modern machinery and
were to have new power stations.
b. Completion of the power station at Pais, about 20 kilometers from
Kaliningrad, whose construction had been started by the Germans.
The thermotechnical department of the institute planned the
instatlation of ten high-pressure boilers (up to 120 atmospheres).
The station was to burn pulverized coal and to have an eventual
output of possibly 300,000 kilowatts.
c. Planning of the reconstruction of the GRES II power station in
Kaliningrad; the thermotechnical department designed several
high-pressure boilers (70 atmospheres) for this station.
d. Design of several flax mills (ltnokombinaty), to be constructed
throughout the Baltic States.
e. Planning of the expansion and modernization of the meat products
combine in Kaunas rN 54-54, E 23-547.
