Description | The local municipal office falls short of carrying out as required the improvements to be made in the town of Ramla on account of the known trip. The Sanjak Administrative Council’s decision taken on this matter on 2 July 1898 puts forth that, as a result of negotiation, a decision has been taken to send an official from here. However, it has been considered that it would be difficult to pay the necessary expenses for the official since the local municipal office has a low-level income; that, owing to the proximity between the town of Ramla and Jaffa, it would be better to carry out the mentioned improvements under the supervision of the Jaffa Municipal Office. The matter of taking necessary action in respect thereof is left to the mutasarrifate’s discretion. The 9th of Tammûz (1)314 (21st of July 1898). |
