Description | This petition has been thoroughly examined by our council. Even though the said engineer’s evaluation is appropriate, the current municipal incomes are not sufficient for providing 32,000 Frank stated to be necessary for the activities in question. A negotiation has thus been hold on this subject; as a result of this negotiation, it has been understood that if an approval is granted by the Sanjak Administrative Council for an extension of the tax of 2.5 piasters considered in our council’s letter dated 7 June 1909 to be daily taken from each carriages, the said sum could be paid with the incomes to be accrued from the said tax this year and in the following years; and also with the surplus to be acquired from expenses of water extraction to be carried out due to the specified activities. It has been considered the said sum be borrowed, on the condition that they shall be repaid with the specified sources, at a rate of six percent; though, for holding negotiation about this figure and explaining whether it is possible to implement it as such and whether a consent would be given for the water from the Süleymâniye Pond be given by the Waqfs Accounting, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council. The 26th of Mâyîs, (1)325 (8th of June 1909). |
