Description | Upon the telegram sent on 22 December 1904 by the Council of State Chairmanship regarding the Urûb water The livestock sale tax annually taken in the form of 6 piasters form each big ox, cattle and water buffalo slaughtered in the slaughterhouse and 3 piasters from their babies; 0.2 piasters from big goats and sheep and 0.1 piasters from small ones, totally adds up to 40,000-50,000 piasters. Since one half of this pertains to the goods’ fund, the other half pertaining to the municipal fund corresponds to 25,000 piasters. As presented and declared, due to the scarcity of municipal incomes and their being insufficient even for fixed expenses, it is not possible to allot a sum from there for the expenses that would be necessary for transferring the said water. Apart from the financial source shown by the office of mutasarrifate for the said expenses, no other suitable source could be found. The 11th of Kânûn Awwal (1)320 (24th of December 1904). |
