Description | Although it has been designed that nearly 200 trees be planted along the roads from the Bâb-al-Halil spot to Birke-i Maşallah and the Municipal Hospital, 200 iron trellises have to be fabricated for the protection of these trees, as indicated in the hereby presented map. These have been put on Dutch auction; and it has been decided that, in accordance with the hereby presented Dutch auction bill, each trellis be provided at a rate of 210 piasters as respected current akçe by Anityi (?) Effendi, the Principal of the Madrasa of Ezdaniyet (?), with half of the sum be taken at the time of delivery of the said supplies and the other half a year later. Still, as regards negotiating the issue and, if deemed suitable, taking a decision on it, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council. The 16th of Kânûn Awwal (1)326 (29th of December 1910). |
