Description | We have read the decision of the district administrative council dated on the 5th of Tishrîn Awwal (1)320 and bearing the number 915 which was given as a response to the decision of our elders (majlis ajzana) dated on the 29th of Aylûl (1)320 and which concerns the diversion of sewage water from the mosque in the village of Silwân. It has been found urgent to pursue (the digging of) holes in order to find the remains of the old sewage system which was recently discovered in the village of Silwân. Having this in mind, an agreement was found with Jum‘a Mustafa Ahmad Abû Adyâb from the village (illegible), that he will dig the holes for the mentioned sewage, from the point where the previous digging had stopped until (the house of) Bakr Ayûb and that he will isolate what he will find from the mentioned (old) sewage system from dirt. (The cost will be calculated) on the basis of seven piasters darîj al band for each meter of length, whatever the depth might be. Since this has been approved by the treasury, it has been decided to begin the work and pay the registered (contractor) what is needed (rest illegible). He will be paid after the second inspection. Accordingly, this (decision) was taken on the 14th of Tishrîn Awwal (1)320 (27th of October 1904). [5 signatures] |
