Description | In the reply given by the Head of the Public Works Engineering to the question raised before, it was stated that there was a need for 60,000 piasters as respected current akçe for the reparation and arrangement of the said macadam. In the budget of 1308 (1892-1893), only 50,000 piasters were reserved to be spent for general roads outside the kaza of Jerusalem. On the other hand, with regard to the cost of water to be given to the municipal hospital, the fact that water is sold at a high price due to the increasing structuring this year shows that there is a need for a higher amount than the ascertained one. Therefore, it has been considered that there would be less expense if the part of macadam, which is now being repaired, is completed and the other part is temporarily improved. It is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council to discuss whether the road reparation can be done in this way or not. The 20th of Nîsân (1)308 (2nd of May 1892).
