Description | Due to the sum allocated to those residing adjacent to the road for water extraction expenditures for 1317 (1901-1902), the persons whose names are written in the hereby presented bill have a debit of 585 piasters. Even though the said amount has been repeatedly demanded, it is stated by the collector that it has not been paid thus far. Therefore, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the municipal police force in order to demand this money from the said persons and to take due action in accordance with the 40. article of the municipal councils regulation in case that they avoid payment. The 31st of Tishrîn Awwal (1)317 (13th of November 1901). [5 signatures] |
