Description | Because the sewer that extends from Shu’ab Siyâm house to the courtyard of the al Shabtî house (hûsh dâr al Shabtî), and from the house of the Jewish Waqf in the old slaughterhouse within a distance of one hundred meters is damaged, the above areas have been inspected with the knowledge of one of the engineers Nasrî Effendi. According to the inspection register given from the recommended individual, it appears that a sum of two thousand two hundred piasters to be paid in installments is needed for these repairs. Upon distributing the sum among the house owners, and in the process of collecting it, we collected a sum of 1200 piasters. Part of it should be paid by the Russian Jews, and the rest by the Armenian Patriarchate, which has pledged to pay the cost of the repairs. In order to start the clearing of the damaged sewer and repair it according to the inspection register under the supervision of the municipality while taking into consideration the behavioral rules, one of us Sa‘d al Dîn Effendi and engineer Nasrî Effendi were appointed to organize a ledger about it and present it to the council. This decision was taken on the 14th of Huzayrân (1)317 (27h of June 1901). [6 signatures] |
