Description | Since the council considers it necessary to draw a map to extend the sewers outside the Old City, Pascal Effendi, the first engineer of the municipality, has been appointed to carry out the task. Since the workload is big, it is necessary to appoint an assistant to help him. Therefore the council has decided to appoint Salîm Ghantûs with a salary of 300 piasters and an extra 150 piasters for any other assistants starting as of tomorrow. The money will be paid from the municipality’s treasury temporarily until the money is taken from property owners. This decision was taken on the 8th of Nîsân (1)326 (21st of April 1910).
