Description | As a result of excavations done in accordance with the decision by the Sanjak Administrative Council by means of following the old course in question, 93 meters more have also been explored and it has been understood that this corresponded to the whole of the old course. It has been understood from the hereby presented inspection report prepared by the municipal engineer that there is a need for 22,720 piasters at the rate of daric-i bender to cover the sum expended for excavation, cleaning and reparation of the old course explored before and after, which is 213 meters in length; and finally, excavation of a new channel at a length of 460 meters from Bir’ul-vab to the valley which is 60 meters forward. As stated in the previous marginal note by our council, there is no source of financing in the municipal budget for the expenditure of the said sum. However, the opening of this course is necessary, so it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council so as to negotiate whether it would be deemed suitable to repair and change this course by financing the said approximate amount of 22,000 piasters on loan to be covered from next year’s incomes in installments and to take a binding decision. The 28th of Tishrîn Awwal (1)320 (10th of November 1904). |
