Description

According to the decision taken on the 20th of Nîsân (1)308, it was concluded that sidewalks (qâldirîm) and sewage drains (laghm) should be built this year between the bridge of the Orthodox Patriarchate (Dayr Al Rûm) to the new house, and from there to the Latin Patriarchat (Dayr Al Lâtîn) until the (Sufi school of) Khânqa Al Salâhiyya and (the street called) Aqabat Khân Al Qubt until the new market and the Tabuna stairway and Bâb al Dabagha in Bâb Hitta, and from the home of the respectable Shahada Effendi Fiâd until Aqabat al-Aqîla with the necessary sidewalks from the end of the land belonging to the Armenian Patriarchate (Dayr Al Arman) until the short border of the old Orthodox Patriarchate.
And this [is to be done] by the contractor Jiryîs Sam’ân Al Zanânîrî for the price of seventeen piasters and thirty para for each meter of sidewalk, and thirty-five piasters for each meter of sewage drains, and eighteen piasters for each meter of stairs. It has become clear to the council that the mentioned contractor will not be able to finish all the above mentioned places. Therefore it has been decided that the gutter and sidewalk in Bâb Hitta be built by one of the members (of the council), the honorable Tahar Effendi (bi wudj al amâna) under the condition that he does not exceed the material. In order to pay what is necessary from the municipality and from the building administration (idarat al inshâ’ât) to the Effendi referred to above and to the contractor mentioned above, this decision was taken on the 4th of Mayîs (1)308 (16th of May 1892).
