Description | We understood from the report presented by the municipality’s second engineer, dated on the 9th of Kânûn Thânî, that the street sweeping machine of the municipality is damaged and leaving it like that will only increase the damage. It has become necessary to offer it for public bidding and sell it, since it cannot be used. Through carrying out the bidding and cessations of those interested, the price has been set at 80 piasters according to the official currency and the machine was entrusted to Husayn Abdul Rahmân Abu Shâma. So, it has been decided by the council to authorize the aforementioned person to get it. In order to register the mentioned sum in regulatory revenues, this decision was issued on the 1st of Shubât (1)321 (14th of February 1906). [6 signatures] |
