Description | Upon the letter dated 24 February 1892, no. 197, presented by our Council with regard to the dispatch from the kazas of Jerusalem, i.e., Ramla of the account of the years 1305 (1889-1890), 1306 (1890-1891), 1307 (1891-1892) and Jaffa and Gaza of the account of the years 1306 (1890-1891) and 1307 (1891-1892), the Mutasarrifate issued orders to the aforementioned kazas, but these accounts have not been dispatched up to now. As was previously presented and stated, it is necessary for the accounting of the municipal council to be ultimately arranged in April every year and sent to the higher authority. Therefore, it is necessary that the annual accountings of municipalities be legally arranged and urgently sent here for approval by the Municipal Assembly. It is appropriate to notify the Kaymakamlıks of Jaffa and Gaza about this matter and about the fact that an investigation would be opened about the officials causing delays. The 20th of Nîsân (1)308 (2nd of May 1892). [No signatures] |
