Description | We announce to all the people that the meat needed by the municipality’s hospital is proposed for Dutch auction for one year, starting from Tammûz (1)314, and ending in Huzayrân (1)315. The new value of each kilo has been set at four piasters to be paid in installments, which should be paid to the municipality’s treasury on monthly basis. Those who wish to tender should contact the municipal council within 24 hours, excluding holidays. In order for this to be known, these directions were published on the 5th of Agustos (1)314 (17th of August 1898), at 10 o’clock. [6 signatures] |
