Description | Autumn is approaching and the humidity in the air obstructed the collection of all fees which were allocated for sprinkling the outside of the city. Therefore, the council has decided to deduct half the daily sprinkled water; which means sprinkle the water in the morning only, and not in the evening, which amounts to 300 water skins starting from the beginning of Aylûl (1)312. Since there is no need for officers to count water skins in the mornings, it has been decided to reduce their salaries from 300 piasters to 200 piasters a month. In order for this to be clarified, this decision has been taken on the 31st of Agustos (1)312 (12th of September 1896). |
