The low water i , of the ILbe9 Swle and Oder rivers in October continued
until , Novmbor with the refit tbs. ; the be and SaAle r3verv were not
fully navigable prior to that date. The mean water level at the Dresden wat -
es wavy 162 m. The number of shipments from this district decreased., since
the Vos ss, .nkeY lock at 1' trelit^* had been closed since 20 November. In this
Stralsund district shipping. was held up during apprew t 1Y' 20 days of
stMW weather. The utilization of the fleet averaged 5 percent on a sonal
basis.. They rotation averaged 2.2 vqjagess with 13.6 ds s a 30-service days
basis: The $ o ute performance of the green register fleet was 907,850 tons.
The breakdoun into gods was as follaosa s
0 s Not more than a boat 47,000 tons were shipped, i stoad of 65j,000 tons of
owl as planned for Fuerstenberg/Oder. The nigswsassteer'hause n railroad station
was tmporarlly congested by tins from the S n g vi .strict so that rail .
rem service coal had to be rerouted to Mesa. The dota was exceeded in the
Dresden d1s3triet t by transferring 15,E toms of coal to the Rai? chasb and
6,000 tons of coal. to the Berliner Kraftwer wh:Leh had been supplied with
Polish coal until then. Coke mod, for the firs t, be shipped by water
from Magdeburg to iUe.
.61_s The tank barges lying ready for loading were not immediately

filled during the last month reviewed; too much time w wasted between thedate of assssi t and the beginning of loading easel for appropriate
December.

Unscheduled trs tl on was necessary in the Stralsund dietri! when liquid
fs 91 from 'wed wrecks had to be ahippedm
t The quota for malt van not reached because of the priority allotted to
gmin t t ie +e.
Graiw: Panning by VVE proved ins `ficient In the Berlin district. Dose
of the quantities shipped had not been duly reported, while of those reported
only a minor portion was delivered for shipment. In the Schwerin district
only part of the necessary cperationa could be perf sad because of
the insufficient capacity of allo a. A shortage of motor hides .,
as volt as additional. shipments of potatoes and sugar a
:impossible to fulfill the plan in the Soh*ierin district. This situation
could not be isproved, despite negotiations with the competent offices. The
were s crit no shipments of in fron Isaac 1enbtu^g visa Wlttonberge and Doemitz.
`Dods' Est Shipments in the Schwerin district remained below quota as a
result of congested storage space in the Velten and Wittenberge oil sells.
Shipments the Stralsund district woro below quota, because the drying of
the rti nent goods x-not fin-lobed.
LaM only 463 tons of the reported 1,OOO tons were shipped from Ketein.
The quota in the e'arl' district exceeded the prescribed quota by about
50 pare t. Large ships utss were also expected for December. Shipmento
in this Stiff" di! Btrlet remained below quota as a result of the
insufficient storage aapac ty of the sugar facto in '41a"a.
r B s Poor fulfilment in the Schwerin district revs* 1te d when the sugar
faot delayed aceeptancs of delivery for five days. Dresden reported above
quota 'fulfilment restating from the assignment of extra labor at loading points.
Hare whip nts ce uld also have been erfeot d in the sstrie~t of .gdeburg, If
the sugar factory in Genthin had been able to accept larger a ntitiess.
Potatoes: The planning tg the WE for Berlin proved faulty., .th t of
