Description | Costs of the provision of saplings from Jaffa and their preparation up to the Jaffa station: 1,090 piasters Costs of transportation from Jaffa to Jerusalem: 436 piasters Costs of the gardener sent to Jaffa: 161 piasters Costs of the digging of 600 necessary pits: 2,400 piasters Costs of wood necessary for 600 adet cages and carpenter’s fee: 6,000 piasters Costs of the tree planting and transportation of fertiliser and soil: 1,000 piasters Costs of the gardener, nets and water transportation: 540 piasters Total: 11,632 piasters Regarding planting trees at both sides of the road which starts from Bâb-al-Halil and reaches up to the municipal hospital and which is at an approximate length of 1,600 meters, and reconstructing and beautifying the homeland, some orders have been gradually sent by the mutasarrifate. Based on these orders, the deputy chairman of our council went to Jaffa and supplied 500-600 saplings by selecting them from among suitable trees, some for free and some with fee. It has been decided that these be brought gradually within a few days. As written in the hereby delivered bill, it has been understood that there is a need for 11,632 piasters at the rate of daric-i bender for the supply of the said saplings from Jaffa, their transportation to Jerusalem, digging of pits for their plantation, construction of cages for their preservation after planting and other miscellaneous costs. There are some fixed costs not only for financing this sum but also for the care and conservation of trees. It has been considered possible to finance these costs with the approximate amount of 25,000 piasters that the persons named Cirbis Abudiye (?) and Yusuf İlyas Hamisi, from the village of Beyt Calâ, have been condemned to pay to the municipal fund on account of the slaughterhouse building. It has been thus considered appropriate by our council that 11,600 piasters necessary at the moment be covered on loan from the general incomes of the municipality to be paid off when the said sum, about which due actions are now being taken for collection, is finally collected. If this is also approved by your office, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council for decision. The 2nd of Kânûn Awwal (1)320 (15th of December 1904). |
