Description | Since Dâwûd al-Shihâbî, one of the council’s inspectors, has died and has left behind a wife and three minor children with no one to provide for them, it is necessary to allocate them some money from the municipality’s treasury. However, the municipality’s treasury is going through a difficult period and has no extra funds for people in their situation, so it was decided to delay the appointment of someone to take his place and manage the affairs of the department by one or two people from the guards’ inspectors and the gas station. Five majîdî riyals have been allocated to the children of Dâwûd, and the rest will be left to the treasury. This decision was taken on the 27th of Kânûn Thânî (1)312 (8th of February 1897).
