Description | As the municipal sergeants and inspector Effendi have a low salary, they cannot afford to have a dress manufactured on their own, and it has been considered that it would not be appropriate to leave them in such a condition in the eyes of everyone. The postal administration, the Public Debts Administration and other official departments have a dress manufactured for guardians and such officials. Similarly, it has been considered that, for this year only, such a dress be manufactured by way of the municipal fund for the said municipal sergeants and inspector Effendi, the total number of whom is 35. It has been observed that, with each suit amounting to 200 piasters as respected current akçe, 7 thousand piasters; and with 70 piasters for 12 bayonets, which shall remain at the council’s inventory stock, 840 piasters needs to be expended. Hence, as regards negotiating the matter, and if deemed suitable, approving the covering of the said sum from the municipal fund through non-budgetary means, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council. The 10th of Agustos (1)326 (23rd of August 1910). |
