Description | Upon the petition given by Arif Yunus Effendi, the multazim of the butchers’ tax in the center of Jerusalem for 1320 (1904-1905) It has been understood from the above-written marginal note taken by the office of Animal Examination in reply to a question regarding the matter that the measures taken to prevent the spread of the prevailing cattle plague have had effect on the slaughter of bovines; that the amount of slaughter has decreased 30 in number in proportion to other days and on average per week; that if this decrease were to be administered to the account of the iltizam cost, it would have to be valid as of the ninth day of the previous month. The butchers’ tax commonly pertains to the Goods’ Fund and the Municipality Fund, so after taking the Sanjak’s Accounting’s opinion on this matter, it is appropriate to relegate it to the Sanjak Administrative Council for negotiation and taking actions to be taken. The 15th of Huzayrân (1)320 (28th of June 1904). |
