Description | Due to the construction tax of the years 1308 (1892-18939 and 1311 (1895-1896), there is a receivable sum of 4,222 piasters to be taken from the persons named Abdüsselam and Derviş under the guarantee of Mehmed Derviş. As for the collection of this debt, no result has been obtained, apart from listening to excuses and request for favours. There has been some delays in the commerce carried out by him, and the animals of the carriages under his possession are sold in Jaffa and here. Hence, in accordance with the 40. article of the Municipal Regulations in effect as regards this matter, it has been considered appropriate that they be summoned and proposed to pay the said money, or that they be arrested unless they pay it. Thus, as regards taking necessary action in respect thereof, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the municipal police force. The 8th of Huzayrân (1)314 (20th of June 1898). |
