The workshops produce boilers, cauldrons, tin utensils, beds, stretchers, disinfection chambers, etc.,
A significant part of these items is supplied to military units. In addition, the workshop produces several other products specifically for the Military House.
In September, the Committee began setting up additional workshops in the cities of Krolevtsz and Sumy.
At the same time, the Committee used machines from a tinsmith, canning and sawmill factory from Riga and a machine-building plant from the village of Kvasilovo. At the beginning of December, the canning factory was put into operation and by the end of December the number of products was | The quantities washed by it reached 10,000 per day.
When the mechanical workshops began to work as an independent institution, the Technical Bureau was transformed into the Hydro-Technical Department. In addition to hydro-technical work, the Department provides construction of various buildings for the Union's institutions: barracks, sheds, stationary baths, etc. Lately, OtdVl has also taken on some road work. ]
In order to manage the technical side of the work at the tannery, which is in the use of the Union, at the end of August it was decided to organize a special Technical Department. Soon after its establishment, the department rented a factory to produce soap, which is very expensive in Kev and, moreover, for the most part, is completely unsatisfactory in quality. ZatZm also received a yeast distillery plant in the department, with which an agreement was concluded for the production of solid alcohol. In this form, alcohol could serve as a good fuel for camp stoves in the trenches, since it does not produce smoke when burned.
The Committee could not confine itself to the formation of the Department of Fleet, the work of which was mentioned above, and had to create a number of new ones established to collect information about the progress of work and control the work of its employees.
| When the Committee began its work, it was impossible to imagine that the work would grow to such proportions and be as long as it later turned out to be.
It was necessary to create an institution as quickly as possible that could directly provide assistance to the floor! I’m either in the rear of the army, and the question of accounting for their work is naturally rejected. was in the background. But when, little by little, the real dimensions of the war began to appear, it became clear that it was necessary to establish a control and audit system in the same way as usually happens in enterprises that have large sums of money at their disposal and are designed for a long-term existence.
Initially, the Committee, in its decisions, made decisions regarding all large monetary expenditures that had to be made, and individual commissioners could easily personally establish the feasibility of expenses. Now this was no longer possible, and it was decided to elect a special commission that could audit all the departments and institutions of the Committee, both from the point of view of the correctness of their work and from the point of view of the integrity of the operations performed. The audit commission was elected on September 23-24, and initially it included three commissioners.
At the same time, a special Control and Accounting Department was formed, which was entrusted with the responsibility of monitoring all amounts received and paid by the cash desk, examining all accounts submitted to the Committee and giving consent to payment on them. The Control and Accounting Department developed instructions for material accounting, established uniform accounting in all departments of the Committee and, finally, compiled an accounting report on the work of the Committee on July 1, 1915.
The establishment of the Audit Commission and the Control and Accounting Department was of great importance, but the Committee could not limit itself to this; it was necessary not only to establish the correctness of the work, but also to? summarize the results, inform employees about how the Committee’s activities are developing, and collect materials for reporting to society.
At the end of August, the Publishing Department began working with this goal, which began publishing bi-weekly “Bulletins” in mid-September. The “Bulletins” contain reports on the current work of institutions and reports on decisions taken at the meetings of the Committee.
According to censorship conditions, “Bulletins” are published as a manuscript and sent to the institutions of the Union, to other public organizations and to the Army.:
In addition, separate publications are published about the work of the established Union and, through the Department, brochures and posters about helping the sick and wounded are distributed.
Finally, the Department of Internal Affairs supplies paper and office supplies to all Union institutions and in certain cases
_ military units. Paper and stationery are purchased directly. from representatives of large factories, thanks to this Otdzl was able to achieve significant savings.
