The decision taken by the Sanjak Administrative Council on 25 September 1901 also requires that a monthly amount of 200 piasters be added to the Jerusalem municipal doctor’s salary, who would serve instead of him. Therefore, 7,200 piasters, which are to be annually expended for both doctors, have been apportioned to each municipal office and the amounts falling to each office’s share are written in the hereby presented bill. It is appropriate to notify the Bethlehem Directorate via the kaymakamlıks of the subordinate kazas so as to divide the apportioned sums into months and to send them here month by month as of the beginning of 1318 (1902-1903) or deliver them by deed to the said doctor upon his arrival. The 27th of Mârt (1)318 (9th of April 1902). [3 signatures] |
