Description | The report of the translator (Turjumân) Effendi of the Orthodox Convent (Dîr al-Rûm) indicates that the sewage drain outside of Damascus leading to the public sewage drain inside Jerusalem, is to be repaired near the mill of the convent. [Besides,] it has been found through inspection that the repair works necessitate the amount of five hundred piasters to be paid in installments. [Therefore,] it has been decided on the council level to repair it by proxy with the knowledge of one of the members [of the council] Niqûlâ Effendi, the respectable [municipal] engineer Ibrâhîm Effendi and the guardian Ibrâhîm ===, and to collect [the expenses] from the Russian Consulate: two hundred piasters, Tlûl al-Msâben?? Company (qûmbâniyyah): two hundred piasters, khawâjah ‘Amîd: fifty piasters and al-‘Ajamî ===: fifty piasters. In order for this to be approved, this decision was taken on the 15th of Mâyis (1)315 (26th of May 1899). [6 signatures] |
