Description | It was understood from the records that in the years before 1314, 51,508.3 piasters were derived from the goods. It was also understood that 34.681,3 piasters, a debt to be paid to owners at the end of 1313, were paid; moreover, as regards the 16,501.2 piasters, which is stated in the additional note sent to our council to be unpaid, 7,793.3 piasters were paid. Under these circumstances, the still unpaid amount is 8,707.3 piasters. Except for the approximate 51,000 piasters, 9,033.1 piasters, which were left over from other expenditures, also sufficed to pay the said 8,707.3 piasters. However, since collections were made in due time from the incomes of the year 1314, it is possible that the said approximate 9000 piasters, which is among the goods of the previous years, might have been given for the expenditures pertaining to the year 1314 and adı geçen harcamaların senesi gelirlerinden hesap edilmesi mümkündür. There is a great amount of tax line for this and it is necessary to appoint a tax collector to collect them. It has thus been deemed appropriate that the said 8,707.3 piasters be covered by the 9,033.1 piasters left over from the tax incomes due from previous years. The 28th of Huzayrân (1)315 (10th of July 1899). [8 signatures] |
