Description | It has become clear from the inspection map given by the members of the municipal council of Jaffa and the engineer Qara Qash Effendi that the room which should be built for the road’s tax farmer in Jaffa to replace the old room which may collapse would cost three thousand qirsh according to the official currency. When it was announced for public bid, it was decided in favor of the bidder for the amount of two thousand five-hundred qirsh according to the official currency. Since this has been considered acceptable, the council has decided to send this announcement to the president of Jaffa’s municipal council with a proposal for a renewed public bid for the mentioned service. And if after the consultation, there should not be any other bidder, the work on the construction of the mentioned room should begin. And the road ’s tax farmer should be informed that he will pay the expenses of the construction of the mentioned room so that the expenses will be estimated in an orderly fashion (?). And accordingly tthis decision was taken on the 18th of Tammûz (1)310 (30th of July 1894). [5 signatures] |
