Description | His Excellency Frânkya Effendi, roads and passages engineer in the Public Works administration, came to Jerusalem on a special mission. He displayed valor and skill in bringing the water of Solomon’s Pools to the Haram al Sharîf and its facilities; this should be appreciated. Therefore, it is imperative to show this appreciation by presenting him with a suitable gift of five French liras from the municipality after writing what is needed on it. In order to pay the mentioned sum from the municipality’s treasury, this decision was taken on the 4th of Kânûn Awwal (1)317 (17th of December 1901). [No signatures] |
