Item JM-AIY/OttomanRegisters/Vol14/p38b/item198 - About an old municipal clock tower, 14 June 1909 (Gregorian calendar) - 1 Huzayrân 1325 (Ottoman fiscal calendar (Rumi)

Following the dispatching of the municipal clock, located over the Jaffa Gate castle, to Beersheba, another clock has been instituted in its stead; and as there is now no tower in Beersheba for hanging it, the old clock would remain inactive and tend to break down. Hence, it has been considered that it be temporarily kept in the Temple Mount until it is put to use in Beersheba; though, for holding a negotiation on the subject and explaining the proper course of action to be taken in respect thereof, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council. The 1st of Huzayrân (1)325 (14th of June 1909).
