Description | A Dutch auction has been organized to sell eight pieces of water gutter manufactured out of wood for 788 piasters as respected current akçe for the purpose of washing the animals of Ottoman soldiers coming from outside during the visit of His Highness, the German Emperor, to Jerusalem; after giving effective incentives to possible suitors, it has been decided that it be provided for 500 piasters as respected current akçe by Hovace Mekri Dimyan (?) Even though it has been considered convenient to sell it at the said sum, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak’s Accounting as regards explaining whether it is convenient or not, since it is an item pertaining to the Finance Office. The 7th of Kânûn Awwal (1)314 (19th of December 1898). [7 signatures] |
