Description | Because there are not enough beasts to pull the water sprinkling caravan, and in order to prevent the harm caused by dust, ‘Abdul-Jawâd ‘Abdîn the water carrier has been contrated to sprinkle water in the carriage road that extends from Bâb al Qishra to the municipality’s building, and from there to the end of the exterior road morning and night in a manner that prevents the stirring up of dust. The appointee will be given a salary of 300 piasters a day from the municipality’s treasury, but if there is weakness in sprinkling water on the mentioned roads in the required manner, his daily fee will be deducted according to his pledge and agreement. His daily payment from the municipality’s treasury, starts the day he commences work, which is the 31st of Mâyis (1)333. Therefore, this decision was issued on the 3rd of Huzayrân (1)333. (3rd of June 1917). [4 signatures] |
