Description | It has been stated in the letter given by the office of doctors that the garden wall of the municipal hospital is about to collapse in its three facades, and that, if no reparation or arrangement is made again this year, this situation will deteriorate, requiring much more expense later. It has been understood from the attached inspection report by the municipal engineer that this now requires a cost of 17,602.3 piasters as respected current akçe. In this year’s balance chart, 9,600 piasters as respected current akçe have been allotted for the reparation of the said hospital. Therefore, due to the indispensability of this reparation, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council to deliver a decision regarding the covering of the extra cost of 8,002.3 piasters through non-budgetary means, i.e. with the surplus of 21,000 piasters obtained this year in macadam taxes being taken in exchange for hospital expenses. The 2nd of Mayîs (1)326 (15th of May 1910). |
