It has become clear since last year that the water collected in Birkat al-Sultân can be used for sprinkling. [Therefore,] it is necessary to reserve it until the undertaking of this year’s sprinkling. Accordingly, it has been decided on the council level to appoint a guardian to prevent people and animals of misusing the [pool] water. It has been found after investigation that al Haj Qasim al-Mughrabî is fit to the job. A monthly salary of six Majîdî Riyâls has been already assigned for him from the beginning of Friday until the undertaking of sprinkling. In order for this to be known, this decision was taken on the 4th of Mârt (1)315 (16th of March 1899).
