struction projects in the area of Ploeati;
e. The Sinaia Group of Building Sites, which repairs all villas in
Sinaia, Busteni and Azuga; taken from their private owners and
presently the property of the government. At Costila on Height
1500, in the vicinity of Sinaia, this group has constructed a
large concrete building of a "military nature". The workers at
the site believe that the building will be equipped with radar
and electronics equipment and will serve as a warning post.
f. The Targoviste Group of Building Sites, which was directing the
following construction projects in the area of Targoviste:
(1) The Argesul Tanning Products Factory which is located on the
highway Pitesti-Curtea de Arges on the northwestern outskirts
of Gavana village. This is a new factory still under con-
struction. The works at the factory are scheduled to be
completed at the end of 1952,
the factory was working at one-quarter of its total productive
capacity. At that time the factory was employing 350 work-
ers in three shifts. The factory produces tanning products
which it extracts from the waste of the saw mills of Curtea
de Arges. The electric power is supplied by an overhead
power line from Curtea de Arges, The high voltage is reduced
by a transformer located at the point of entry into the
factory.
(2) The 11 Iunie Textile Factory (formerly called Textial
Sfantul Gheorghe) formerly the property of Gigurtu, a Minister
in pre-war Rumania, which is equipped. with 1,000 weaving
machines and employs 4,000 workers in three 8-hour shifts.
Sovromconstructie No,.3 performed only minor repairs at this
factory. The factory has its own electric power station and
is located on the Arges Pier. It produces textile materials
from raw cotton. All the factory's buildings are painted
white and are visible from great distances.
(3) In Tais, a suburb of Targoviste, Sovromconstructie No. 3
erected military barracks and buildings for a political
training school.
(4) In the forest of Suta Seaca village, located 15 kilometers
northeast of Gaesti, Sovromconstructie No. 3 was constructing
twelve houses for the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum. Each
house had two apartments which consisted of one bedroom, a
dining room, a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room and a
cellar. The buildings were covered with tile. At the same
site a large brick building, 50 meters long and 14 meters
wide, was also erected. North of this site seven wooden
barracks, each 50 meters long, were constructed. These
buildings were constructed to house the workers employed at
the oil drilling site at Pitesti.
(5) On the northern outskirts of Targoviste, Sovromconstructie No.3
has built a workshop for the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum.
This workshop, called "Baia Tubulara", makes certain tools
used for the drilling of oil wells.
(6) Sovromconstructie No. 3 supervised the work at the Mi?a
