Description | Appendix to the note given from the Tax Administration regarding the assignment of somebody from the Jewish community to the vacated duty of expertise There has been no order or clear rule regarding those experts who are selected from the municipality should be from certain communities on the basis of the population. Keeping this in mind, two persons from the Jewish community have been assigned and a few people have been offered positions. However, all these people have avoided the duty. For that reason, since he is one of the experienced experts, it has been found appropriate to re-assign Muhammed Halidî Effendi to the First Division Expertise, who had been assigned and had resigned since he was offered to visit the villages. The 14th of Agustos (1)316 (27th of August 1900). |
