Description | The butchers’ tax of the centre of Jerusalem, the previous cost of which had been 55,500 piasters, was put on Dutch auction to the account of 1323 (1907-1908), and it was retained by its previous contractor Şevket Halidi Effendi at a rate of 48,000 piasters. Despite necessary incentives, no other suitor came to the fore. Besides, the revenues of gas storehouses have been included into the general balance of ministries; hence, these gas storehouses have been returned to municipal offices, as was the case before. In the letter, dated 15 July 1906 and numbered, by the Ministry of Treasury, it was ordered that their net earnings be given to the goods’ funds separate from the other half of the butchers’ and kantar taxes pertaining to the municipality. The half share of the said tax pertaining to the municipality thus must be given to the goods’ fund to be set off from the net earnings of the gas revenue. As the said tax shall pertain wholly to the goods’ fund, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council for the exchange by the Sanjak’s Accounting of the iltizam certificate after the completion and ratification of the auction of the said tax. The 24th of Shubât (1)322 (9th of March 1907). |
