Description | It has been understood from the marginal note written by Public Works Engineering Office that there was a need for 60,000 piasters (piasters) for the reparation and leveling of the aforementioned macadam and in the budget for the year 1892-1893 (1308), only a fund of 50,000 piasters was allocated for all the roads outside of the district (kaza) of Jerusalem. It is appropriate to relegate the matter to be discussed by the Sanjak Administrative Council in order for this fund to be either wholly spent for the reparation and improvement of the aforementioned macadam or to reserve only the half amount of this fund for the reparation of the road in question and to spend the rest of the money for the reparation of other roads. The 7th of Mârt (1)308 (19th of March 1892). [4 signatures] |
