Description | It has been understood from the inspection dated on the 18th of Nîsân (1)322, presented by the municipality’s engineer, Ibrâhîm Effendi, that some repairs have to be carried out in the municipal park for a sum of 3598 piasters to be paid in installments. After deliberations, the council decided that these repairs are necessary and they need to be done this year to avoid further damage. So the council has decided to appoint one of us, Hâj Sa‘îd Effendi Al Daqqâq, Ibrâhîm Effendi Najîb and engineer Ibrâhîm Effendi to start work, and pay the expenses from the council’s treasury. Therefore, this decision was issued on the 18th of Nîsân (1)322 (1st of May 1906). [6 signatures] |
