Description | Upon the letter, dated 18 November 1901 and numbered 180, sent by the Kaymakamlık of Halil It is indeed necessary that the roads and pavements in the kaza of Halil be repaired and a sewer be constructed. The annual incomes of the said council are not sufficient for such construction works; and for the expenditures necessitated by the said improvements, it is appropriate that the entry tax pointed out in the previous bill sent by the Kaymakamlık of Halil be taken for ten years. If this is negotiated and deemed suitable, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council so as to take due action in respect thereof. The 8th of Tishrîn Thânî (1)317 (21st of November 1901). [4 signatures] |
