The telegram by the Ministry of Internal Affairs necessitates that the General Provincial Council convenes in order to hold a negotiation concerning roads, passages, facilitation of commerce and agriculture, etc. With the specification of some issues regarding public works deemed very necessary for our town’s interests, it has become indispensable to write down the considerations on this subject:
1) There is a macadam, erstwhile arranged by the Public Works, extending from the Greek Monastery in Jerusalem to the land known as Nikifurya; and in case of opening a road, with a width of 20 meters and an approximate length of 1,000 meters, on the condition that its expenses be paid from the allocations of the Public Works, the current distance to the railroad stop would thus be shortened. This would also facilitate commerce.
2) Even though it was previously requested that the incomes obtained from the bridge on the Jordan river be channelled for the alleviation of the necessities of the Jerusalem Hospital for the Poor, the letter later sent on this subject stated that the incomes of this bridge belong to the Treasury, as the said bridge had been constructed via the Public Works’ allocation. However, as the legislation on this subject stipulate that no tax be taken from roads and bridges to be made and expanded by the Public Works, abolition of the said toll.
3) Investigation of the means for improving agriculture has been recently dealt with in a report drawn up by the committee established under the presidency of the Director of Imperial Lands; and this situation is hereby presented in order to state that there will be great benefits for the people of Jerusalem if the provisions of this report are implemented.

A part of the wall, located in the qibla direction of garden of a house, which is situated outside the city on the Telul Al Sabin (?) road and is owned by the Husayn community, is about to collapse. It is stated in the municipal engineer’s report dated 8 February 1911 that the rest of the wall is also in a dangerous situation. Hence, in accordance with the 48. article of the Public Buildings Regulation in effect as regards this matter, a warning has been sent to the leader of the said community in order to demolish the said wall, but as a result of investigation, it has been understood that necessary action has not been taken thus far. Thus, in accordance with the said article of the regulation, the said room must be demolished following a mandate to be drawn up by the municipal engineer Paskal (?) Effendi, mukhtar of the neighborhood, and an official from the municipal police force, with the condition that the demolition expenses be covered from the wreckage cost or collected from the community leader in question.
