Concerning the transportation cost of the tents necessary for Beersheba
The Kok Company’s deputy has stated that the 6 tents, five of which have 12 poles and the other of which have one pole, have been used for two-three years, but they are durable and solid, adding that he could sell them for 65 French liras.

Upon the letter, dated 28 July 1900 and numbered 74, sent by the Bethlehem Directorate regarding the two archines of land integrated into the road from İbrâhim and İshâk Efraîm’s land.
Upon the petition previously presented by the said people named İbrâhim and İshâk Efrâhim and then relegated to the municipality, the said street has been inspected by our municipal engineer. It has been understood from the marginal note taken by the said engineer that two extra archines of land were illegally taken from the land in front of the house belonging to them, thus causing them a loss. In the marginal note written by our council on 25 April 1900, it was thus presented and stated that the necessary notification be made to the local administration in order not to create any inconvenience for the petitioners. The provision of the 9. article of the Public Buildings Regulation states that when there is a need for a space to be wholly taken from one part, or taken in addition to its share for the purpose of including it into road in accordance with the right direction, the cost of the amount not allowed by the other part shall be estimated on the basis of the written procedure regarding confiscation for public good and taken from those concerned. It has been considered necessary that, if it is possible to take spaces necessary for the right direction of the said road from both parts, two archines of land taken from the lands of the said İbrâhim and İshâk Efraîm in excess of their legal shares be returned to them and that, if possible, the cost of these two archines of land be collected, in accordance with the provisions of the said article, from the part whose owners did not renounce their lands and be given to the said persons. The documents on this matter are hereby returned. The 25th of Tammûz (1)316 (7th of August 1900).
