TO THE GUBERNIA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

Nizhni-Novgorod, to the Gubernia Executive Committee, copy to the Gubernia Food Committee, Gubernia Labour Committee, Tramot Department,* Komvolgoprod,** Gubernia Military Commissar

Bearing in mind that the main burden of supplying the Western Front, Moscow and Petrograd with food now falls on Nizhni, I propose that you detail daily the necessary number of workers and carts, at the request of Volgoprod, for unloading barges and hauling foodstuffs to the stations, not less than 60 carloads of grain per day.
