Description | This is to announce that according to a telegram dated on the 22nd of Kânûn thânî sent by the mutasarrifiyya of Kerak a Dutch auction is proposed for the construction of 34 housing units for migrants in the village of Lajûn in the center of the mentioned mutasarrifiyya, on the basis of square meters. The contractor would only have to transport water from a place at a distance of 5 minutes and provide for the salaries of the workers, since all the stones, lime and other materials are already available at the construction site. So whoever is interested in bidding should contact the municipal administration in Jerusalem. In order for this to be known, these directions were published on the 24th of Kânûn thânî (1)322 (6th of February 1907). [1 signature] |
