Description | It was decided by the council that, in an attempt not to stop carriages in a state of congestion, a mobile wheeled-kiosk be constructed in parallel to the tower at the point newly opened with the purpose of keeping from rain the sergeants deployed in Jaffa Gate. Even though the construction work was thereupon initiated, the military objected to it and constructed a station at the said spot. Hence, it is appropriate to inform the Jerusalem Area Commandership about the real facts so as to ensure that no objection be made. The 14th of Tishrîn Thânî (1)314 (26th of November 1898).
