Description | To all neighborhood headmen (mukhtârîn) and village headmen (ikhtiyâriyya) in the district of Jerusalem! The (presence of) thrifty vendors coming from the villages to Jerusalem’s old city streets has led to congestion and garbage and difficulties for passage and traffic. It is illegal. Therefore it has been decided to take Khân Al Sultan as the place for female vendors. Each one of them will have to pay 10 para sâgh al mîrî (illegible) in exchange for her presence in the mentioned Khân. Whoever among them disobeys will receive a monetary fine. So oh you village headmen, you have to inform all of the women who come to Jerusalem that they should sit in the mentioned khân in order to sell what they wish there, and that each of them should pay 10 para in order to rent the khân. Therefore it is necessary to read (?) this announcement on the 20th of Tishrîn Awwal (1)320 (2nd of November 1904). [6 signatures] |
