Description | In the scope of construction taxes in the center of Jerusalem for 1311 (1895 – 1896), the person named Muhammed Derviş has a due debt of 2,862 piasters as respected current akçe; even though this sum has been repeatedly demanded from him, he has not paid it yet. It has been understood that he has a due debt to the goods’ fund and that his carriages shall be seized for the purpose of collecting these sums. Hence, as regards financing the municipality’s receivables from the cost of goods to be sold, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the special official of the Accounting Office. The 9th of Kânûn Thânî (1)314 (21st of January 1899). [4 signatures] |
