| Description | According to the municipal decision dated on the 4th of Huzayrân (1)317, about the demolition of Hâj Muhammad Effendi Abû Sa’ûd’s home, and since the house in question has been demolished, it appeared that selling the rubble needs time, but it is necessary to pay for the process. Last Friday a sum of 363 piasters was paid, and another 393 piasters are to be paid in installments by this Friday. In order to pay the mentioned sum from the municipality’s treasury as a form of compensation, this decision was taken on the 2nd of Tammûz, (1)317 (15th of July 1901). [6 signatures] Correct: The sum that needs to be paid stands at 539 piasters, and in order to pay this instead of the 393 piasters mentioned above, this raise was given on the 3rd of Tammûz (1)317 (16th of July 1901).
