Description

Since summer is approaching, the sprinkling of the road leading from Jaffa Gate to the municipality’s hospital has begun. It is urgent to get rid of the dust and dirt which accumulate on the roads outside of the Old City in the important areas. Since we remembered this (?), we have decided to use one of the carts which were purchased last year for this purpose and employ workers. One of them works from the morning until the evening, sweeping the dirt which gathers and puts it in a pile (?); the second transports it with the cart and discards it in far away places. Accordingly, one horse was bought for 6 French liras with its equipment for an amount of 10 riyâl majîdî, for the use of both of the two workers, Muhammad Faz’al Al Khalîlî and Hassan Al Bûrnî. Each of them will receive a monthly salary of 150 piasters starting on the 8th of mârt (1)316 and the needed expenses for daily portions of rye and and straw as fodder for the mentioned cart horse and two buckets and two brooms a month. This was validated for the guard (jâwîsh) Mahmûd Agha in order for him to purchase what is needed on a monthly basis according to the above. Accordingly, this decision was taken on the 8th of Mayîs (1)316 (21st of May 1900).
