Description | Even though the butchers’ tax of the centre of Jerusalem, which is commonly owned by the Goods’ Fund and the Municipal Fund, was put on Dutch auction to the account of 1322 (1906-1907), no one has paid a deposit for it thus far. On occasion of the new year, an official has to be temporarily appointed for the collection of the said tax, until the Sanjak Administrative Council’s decision with respect to the tender or governmental administration of this tax. It has been considered appropriate to appoint Hüsamettin Al Şeref Effendi to this task with a daily wage of 5 piasters. As regards his or some other suitable person’s appointment, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council. The 25th of Shubât (1)321 (10th of March 1906). |
