Description | Since the water of the Sharlot well has dried up, we need to purchase the necessary water for sprinkling from outside. An agreement has been reached with Abu Hamâda al Silwânî to spray 50 water loads from Ayûb’s well at the price of 50 paras for each load, and eight piasters for each spray. Five loads should be delivered to the municipal garden at the price of 50 paras also, starting form Tishrîn Awwal, 11, (1)317. In order to start the process, this decision was taken on the 15th of Tishrîn Awwal (1)317 (28th of October 1901). [6 signatures] |
