Description | The engineer Nasri Effendi has been sent for the lubrication of the said pumps; after the inspection, they have been found to be in a dilapidated state. There would be no use in lubricating them before reparation, and the estimated reparation expenditures are 163.5 piasters. And the cost of the equipment, requested in another letter relegated by the Major’s Office of the Regular Army and hereby presented, is 1,400 piasters, adding up to 1,563.5 piasters in total at the rate of daric-i bender. Not only there is no financial source in the budget for such high expenditures, but there is also no income to cover it through non-budgetary means. Hence, for the purpose of financing the cost of the requested equipment from another convenient source, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council to take a decision on financing through non-budgetary means, taking into consideration the low level of expenditure—163.5 piasters—necessary for the reparation and lubrication of the said pumps. The 17th of Huzayrân (1)316 (30th of June 1900). |
