Description | After reviewing the application dated on the 12th of Kânûn Thânî, which was presented by Sham'îl Israel the Ottoman Jew, it appears that his wife is feeding twins. Because of his poverty, it was decided to allocate him a sum of money for feeding one of the children. After investigating the applicant and determining his case, it was found that he lives in Jerusalem in Mahalat Jaffa Gate- 94:2?, and he is poor and in need of aid. According to these findings, it was decided to pay him a sum of 30 piasters per month, starting from the 15th of Kânûn Thânî (1)326. In order to pay the mentioned sum on a monthly basis from the municipality’s treasury, this decision was taken on the 18th of Kânûn Thânî (1)326 (31st of January 1911). [7 signatures] |
