Description | Based on the report presented by the municipality’s inspector Effendi, one of us, the respectable Nâjî Effendi was appointed to inspect the lanterns installed in the streets to light the town. The person to whom the matter was recommended said that five more lanterns are needed in addition to the three which were ordered by the police department. It was understood from the report, that eight lanterns were installed as of the 18th of Mâyû (1)317. The three lanterns ordered by the police have been paid for, while the cost of the five lanterns has not been paid for yet. In order to pay the expenses according as written above and cover the expenses of lighting two hundred and seven lanterns for a month, this decision was taken on the 21st of Huzayrân (1)317 (4th of July 1901).
