Description Upon the petition presented on 11 December 1904 by Yusuf İlyas Hamisi, the contractor of the slaughterhouse construction
The construction costs of the slaughterhouse constructed ten years ago by the municipality were put on Dutch auction; after the completion of bidding, it was decided that the work be undertaken at a rate of 28,500 piasters by the petitioner Yusuf İbn-i İlyas Hamisi under the guarantee of Cirbis Abudiye from the village of Beyt Calâ and the petitioner thus initiated the construction. However, due to his incapability to execute the work in line with the specified commitments, in accordance with the signed contract, the said slaughterhouse construction was completed on consignment by the municipality to his own account. A lawsuit was brought at the Court of First Instance for the collection of the expended money from the contractor or his guarantor. The verdict delivered by default and directly at the end of the trial condemned them to pay 25,610 piasters to the municipal fund. As this is now a conclusive verdict, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Gendarme Commandership to report to the petitioner that the said sum must be immediately paid, to collect it from him and send it to the municipal fund as soon as possible. The 4th of Kânûn Awwal (1)320 (17th of December 1904).
