Description | The council has realized the necessity to build the stores (places?) indicated in the last inspection report in order to install the kitchen ordered in Paris for the hospital (hastakhana). The amount allocated for hospital expenses in the budget is sufficient for the construction works. Therefore it has been decided by the council to nominate the respectable Tahar Effendi and the engineer under the supervision of the respectable Frankia Effendi and the engineer (illegible), under the condition that the amount shown in the mentioned inspection report not be exceeded and which is twenty-three thousand five-hundred piasters according to the official currency. In order for this amount to be paid in installments from the road revenues in the municipal treasurer’s office and in order for the works to begin, this decision was taken on the 12th of Mayîs (1)308 (24th of May 1892).
