Description | Upon the petition presented by carriage drivers on 24 May 1909 regarding the reduction of Jerusalem-Jaffa macadam taxes This petition has been examined by our council. With reference to the Financial Department of the Council of State’s mandate dated 11 April 1909 and numbered 462, it has been ordered in the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ letter dated 4 May 1909 and numbered 53 that the mentioned Jerusalem-Jaffa macadam taxes be taken the way they used to be. It has thus been considered by our council that reducing the said tax and meeting the petitioners’ demand would be contrary to the provisions of this letter. It is appropriate to take due action in respect thereof. The 26th of Mâyîs, (1)325 (8th of June 1909). |
