Description | According to the inspection presented by the first municipal engineer dated on the 31st of Tishrîn Awwal (1)317, which states that the office of the inspector Effendi and the municipal inspectors located at Jaffa Gate should be repaired for a sum of 420 piasters to be paid in installments. Master Ilyâs Budûr al Najjâr was contracted for a sum of three and a half French liras. Since this was found appropriate, the council has decided to sign a contract and start work, and pay what is needed in installments. In order for this to be clarified, this decision was taken on the 7th of Tishrîn Thânî (1)317 (20th of November 1901). [3 signatures] |
