Description | It has been understood from the report presented from the second engineer Effendi that the sewer located in the Moroccan quarter has been cleaned, for a sum of 1400 piasters, with a sum of 170 piasters remaining from the evaluated sum during the first inspection. The remainder of the money will be used to do some partial repairs that are not stated in the mentioned inspection. Therefore it was decided, with the knowledge of one of us, Sa‘d al Dîn Effendi and the recommended engineer, to carry out the repairs and to pay the mentioned sum. In order for this to be clarified, this decision was taken on the 4th of Shubât (1)317 (17th of February 1902). [6 signatures] |
