Upon the letter dated 24 February 1892, no. 197, presented by our Council with regard to the dispatch from the kazas of Jerusalem, i.e., Ramla of the account of the years 1305 (1889-1890), 1306 (1890-1891), 1307 (1891-1892) and Jaffa and Gaza of the account of the years 1306 (1890-1891) and 1307 (1891-1892), the Mutasarrifate issued orders to the aforementioned kazas, but these accounts have not been dispatched up to now. As was previously presented and stated, it is necessary for the accounting of the municipal council to be ultimately arranged in April every year and sent to the higher authority. Therefore, it is necessary that the annual accountings of municipalities be legally arranged and urgently sent here for approval by the Municipal Assembly. It is appropriate to notify the Kaymakamlıks of Jaffa and Gaza about this matter and about the fact that an investigation would be opened about the officials causing delays. The 20th of Nîsân (1)308 (2nd of May 1892).

As the said post are carried by their contractors on lump sum basis, their horse carriages have never been exempted from road tax in any year. It has been investigated why they do not pay the required road tax while they have to pay it like other rental carriages and it turned out that this situation arose from a warning made by the consulate of the state of Austria and Hungary via the Mail and Telegraph Directorate. With an official letter, it is appropriate to notify the Austrian Consulate via the Mail and Telegraph Directorate that the said road tax be paid by the carriage owners as before.

In the reply given by the Head of the Public Works Engineering to the question raised before, it was stated that there was a need for 60,000 piasters as respected current akçe for the reparation and arrangement of the said macadam. In the budget of 1308 (1892-1893), only 50,000 piasters were reserved to be spent for general roads outside the kaza of Jerusalem. On the other hand, with regard to the cost of water to be given to the municipal hospital, the fact that water is sold at a high price due to the increasing structuring this year shows that there is a need for a higher amount than the ascertained one. Therefore, it has been considered that there would be less expense if the part of macadam, which is now being repaired, is completed and the other part is temporarily improved. It is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council to discuss whether the road reparation can be done in this way or not. The 20th of Nîsân (1)308 (2nd of May 1892).
