Description | Concerning the application of George Kabus, who rented the previous municipality’s café for accommodation purposes After discussions, it appeared that the lower floor of the rented house should be closed and affiliated with the hotel, and the water well, will be included with the largest part of the leased premises. The tenant did not benefit from the house throughout (1)313, and some places in the mentioned house were closed because of the presence of a lot of equipment and pebbles from the well, which filled the area at the time of excavations. At the time of estimating these damages, it appeared that the contract should be revoked for (1)314, since the house was closed, no one wanted to live there, and because of the presence of debris, the council has decided to lease it to the tenant for half of the rent in (1)314, which is 22.5 French Liras, and leave the rest of the money as a compensation for former and later delay. After discussing the matter with the tenant, it was agreed that he should pay three months at the beginning of (1)314. Accordingly, a document was given to obtain approval in the required manner on the 9th of Tammûz (1)312 (21st of July 1896). [5 signatures] |
