Description | In accordance with the 52. article of the Municipal Councils Regulation, it has been considered necessary that the sanjak central accounting form a table with the municipal councils’ annual accountings to be sent from sanjak jazas and this table be presented to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In the decree given from the office of mutasarrifate, it was notified that the annual accountings be requested from the Gaza municipal council for the years between 1308 (1892 – 1893) and 1311 (1895 - 1896) and from the Jaffa and Ramla municipal councils for 1310 (1894 - 1895), and that these be swiftly delivered here in proper order as approved by the municipal association. However, no result could be obtained thus far and the delay in presenting the said table to the Ministry of Internal Affairs creates an extreme burden. It is thus appropriate to notify the kaymakamlıks of Jaffa and Gaza that the requested accountings must be arranged and delivered here or, if it is difficult to do so, a report must be sent here to take due action in respect thereof. The 11th of Kanûn Thânî (1)311 (23rd of December 1895). [1 signature] |
