Description | It has been understood from reports presented by the municipal engineer that the sewer located next to the government’s house near the the Haram al Sharîf is damaged, and it is necessary to repair it in a more solid manner. The repairs require a sum of 118 piasters; another 197 piasters to be paid in installments are needed to carry out some repairs in the municipal garden and purchase some materials. Accordingly, the council has decided to carry out the repairs under the supervision of the municipality while taking into consideration the rule of conduct, with knowledge of one of us, Sa‘d al Dîn Effendi and the recommended engineer. In order to pay the necessary funds from the council’s treasury and to start the work, this decision was taken on the 1st of Agustos (1)317 (14st of August 1901). [3 signatures] |
