Land conflict relegated to the Office of Main Register of Revenues, 18 April 1892 (Gregorian calendar) - 6 Nîsân 1308 (Ottoman fiscal calendar (Rumi)

Upon the declaration with an official letter by the Office of Main Register of Revenues dated 4 April 1982 that there was no inconvenience to construct a building in the specified land, a license was warranted for the construction of the building. As the question whether this land belongs to the building owner or not is an issue pertaining to the Office of Main Register of Revenues, it is appropriate to relegate again the matter to where it pertains.

Budget issue relegated to the Sanjak Administrative Council, 18 April 1892 (Gregorian calendar) - 6 Nîsân 1308 (Ottoman fiscal calendar (Rumi)

The reason underlying the fact that the tax paid to the public measurer (keyyâliye) and weighing (kantar) tax have not reached its value of the recent years is that some amount of grain did not reach here due to a quarantine effectuated on account of cholera that appeared last year. As there is already a little shortage of tax, it is understood that it would be more appropriate to sell off these taxes as iltizam rather than collect them on government account. Nevertheless, it is appropriate to relegate this matter again to the Sanjak Administrative Council. The 6th of Nîsân (1)308 (18th of April 1892).

Land conflict relegated to the Sanjak Administrative Council, 25 April 1892 (Gregorian calendar) - 13 Nîsân 1308 (Ottoman fiscal calendar (Rumi)

The narrowness of the road, which is four arşın in width, leading to the Hazret-i Ukâşe (Radıyallahu Anh) Street at the Jaffa macadam, causes troubles for passersby. In accordance with the first article of the Public Buildings Regulations in effect as regards this matter, it has been considered necessary to expand the width of this road to eight arşın. The third and eighth articles of the Public Buildings Regulation incorporate the provision of taking an equal –half-and-half– size of land from both sides of the road, should the need arise for expansion; determination of the roads to be re-opened and/or the estimated expansion of current roads by the municipal council; and execution of the requirements by the Administrative Council. On one side of the aforementioned road lies the land of Set Şarlota and Hovace David Kokya, and on the other side lies the land of Monsieur Hayim Valirv. In the construction permit granted by our Council, it is stipulated that two arşın must be partitioned from the land of Set Şarlota for new buildings to be constructed. Hence, a map is enclosed herewith, which indicates the need for a partition of two arşın also from the lands of aforesaid David and Valirv. For further action, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council. The 13th of Nîsân (1)308 (25th of April 1892).

Item of Vaccine ; Number: 500 ; Price: 5 ; Total (piasters): 2,500
Vaccinator’s salary ; Number: 40 ; Price: 300 (per each) x 40=12,000 ; Total: 12,000 x 3(months) = 36,000
Total (piasters): 38,500
Distribution of Costs
From the Income of Jerusalem Municipality
From the Income of Jaffa Municipality
From the Income of Gaza Municipality
From the Income of Ramallah Municipality
From the Income of Khalil Municipality
As stated in the second appendix of the above-mentioned municipality doctor, it has been understood that there is a need for 38,500 piasters for the vaccination of all children within the Sanjak of Jerusalem. The sum of money to be spent for vaccination is specified above, as distributed according to the income of each kaza municipality. This decree requires that the cost of vaccination of the children living in kazas with a lesser municipality income be covered by other kazas with more municipality income. Thus, as the incomes of the municipalities of Ramla and Hebron do not suffice for the vaccination of the inhabitants of the villages belonging to these kazas, it is necessary to purchase the required item of vaccines and to send vaccinators. Although it has been considered that the sum of money allocated to each municipality to cover this expense should be sent to the sanjak center for approval, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council for re-discussion. The 13th of Nîsân (1)308 (25th of April 1892).
