Description | As seen in the herewith presented bill, the cost of the timber purchased to be used in the mosque being constructed in Kerek has reached 2,500.1 piasters as respected current akçe. For this expense, 2,318 piasters were sent from the goods’ fund of the kaza of Salt. At the moment, a debt of 116.3 piasters is to be paid to our municipal fund. For the delivery here of the said bills and the certificate showing the bill values, and the payment, as long as there is henceforward nothing necessary to buy, of the remaining debt, it is appropriate to inform the Maan Mutasarrifate about the matter with a correspondence. The 6th of Mârt (1)311 (18th of March 1895). [2 signatures] |
