Description | Given the long distance between the areas chosen to collect the taxes of measurement (kayyâla) and weights (qintâr), it was decided to divide the areas according to the following system. Wâd al-Rabbâna, al-Baq’a and al-Mahla under the supervision of assistant inspector Husayn Effendi al-Afghânî; Râs al-Amûd, Shaykh Jarrâh and Tlûl al Masâbin under the supervision of Hamâda Effendi al-Jâ’ûnî. Since this man was found to be competent to carry out this job, he will be given a sum of 400 piasters a month to be paid from the 13th of August (1)333. As for the Shaykh Badir area will be placed under the supervision of one of the inspectors, Khûrshîd Aghâ, because of its abundant returns which continue throughout the night and because he is always on duty at night in that area. Therefore, this decision was issued on the 13th of Agustos (1)333 (13th of August 1917). [3 signatures] |
