Comrade Gorbunov:
Give this the most serious attention.[1] I think, we should allow everything that is asked; i.e. 4 m.r. X O.2 (?) 800,000 million. That is the first thing.
Second. Do not separate from the Central Board for the Peat Industry (since Radchenko is not here, ask Morozov and Menshikov). Why separate? The need is to give autonomy inside the Central Board for the Peat Industry. It should be defined precisely, in writing, and established through the CLD
Third. There is, after all, a number of CLD decisions on priority for the Administration for Hydraulic Peat Extraction, etc., etc. These have been definitely âforgottenâ. That is a scandal! Those who are guilty of âforgetfulnessâ should be found and prosecuted. Without fail! (Let me know the result: what has been done.)
10/II. Lenin
- â A reference to a report from R. E. Klasson, executive head of the Administration for the Affairs of Gidrotorf (the Administration for Hydraulic Peat Extraction) under the Chief Peat Committee, dated February 9, 1922. He described the state of affairs, said that Gidrotorf did not have the money to buy the necessary materials for the 1922 season, and requested the approval of estimates to the amount of 4 million gold rubles. Healso asked that Gidrotorf should be separated from Tsutorf (Central Board for the Peat Industry) and transferred to the Central Fuel Administration or another establishment, at the C.P.C.âs discretion, where Gidrotorf could obtain the money it needed. On February 28, 1922, the C.P.C. decided to allocate to Gidrotorf 1.2 million prewar rubles from the C.P.C. reserve fund, under the estimates and with a set off of the funds already received by Gidrotorf in 1922.
