Complaints against the blessed of Bethlehem that he is trying to appoint Kanavatis as a mukhtar, while, when Todor Efendi came to them, at the order of His Beatitude, he announced that a new voting (Τeskili) should take place, according to the government decree (Nizami), which resulted in the old Mukhtars gaining majority. Realising this, the blessed of Bethlehem wrote the documents and gave them to Todor Efendi.. He has been using all means in order to appoint Kanavatis, but they don't want him, because he destroyed the neighbourhood of Anatri, he was responsible for the destruction of 1,000 olive trees, for which the inhabitants are now indebted 1,000 mecits, he cut the water supply for the inhabitants etc.
