Description | After reading the application presented by Dâwûd Qutniya, who was proposed to be hired as a tax collector, it turned out that he has the competency to carry out the mentioned job, and that he presented a financial sponsor, Darwish Al Nabani. Since the sponsorship is considered sufficient, on condition that his property and that of the recommended collector, which stands at 12000 piasters, are sequestered. In order to do the booking, write the sponsorship deed and use the mentioned person to collect fees from half of the shops and all of the houses, this decision was taken on the 14th of Tammûz (1)314 (26th of July 1898).
