Description | Since municipal garden’s storage place (al Dabawî??), which is located in the public garden, has been allocated to place the fire extinguisher pump, it has become necessary to lease another shop as a storage place. Because one of the shops of Zahâyir al Mahabba located on the road leading to Birkat Ma’man Allah, number six, has agreed, this shop has been leased [as a storage place] for nine French liras a year. Two months have passed from the year, and in order to pay the stated rent for 10 months, which is seven and a half liras, starting from Rahei’ Awwal (1)327, until Thu al Hijja of the same year, this decision was issued on the 9th of Mârt, (1)325 (22nd of March 1909).
