We announce that according to the sultan’s decret (al irâda al sunnîyya) concerning the renovation of water reservoirs and their dependent systems in 14 places along the Hijâz road from Balqa’ to the place known as Al Bî’r Al Jadîd (the New Cistern) under the supervision of the special committee for the establishment of telegraph lines in the Hijâz, there will be a need to pay 1700 master builders and 1000 workers daily. Every day eight to 16 master builders should work to build walls and a stone quarry, along with four stone cutters, and 10 workers.
For the announcement of the Dutch auction, it was decided to present the mentioned workers as follows : each master builder should be paid 22 piasters and each worker 9 piasters, considering that each riyâl majîdî equals 24 piasters and five para, under the condition that the master builders and workers be neither too young nor too old, and that they be capable and experienced in their work.
The contractor should count full salaries for the master builders and workers when they are present on the road and at work. During the days where are obstacles to work, such as lack of the needed materials or water, (he should count) half of the salaries. On days where they get sick or are late in getting work done for inadmissible reasons, they will not get their salary.
The contractor should give all master builders and workers two monthly salaries in advance (bi wûdj al salf) from the time they go to work. For the trip and the transportation of the things and supplies of these masters builders and workers, (the contractor) should give each of them the money for the rental of a camel from the time they begin to move until they return with the water and the construction tools given by the government.
So everyone who is interested in this Dutch auction should contact the municipality in Jerusalem within five days starting from today. In order for this to be known, these directions were published in the 21st of Huzayrân (1)316 (4th of July 1900).

Upon a letter presented approximately two months ago by His Highness the Patriarch Effendi,with regard to taking a license for the construction of some buildings at the place that is located near the village of Tur and which goes by the name of Galalya (?), belonging to the Greek Patriarchate, a disagreement occurred, during its relegation to the relevant office for taking legal action, between the Waqfs office and the Office of Main Register of Revenues due to the type of the land there. The situation was thereupon relegated to the Sanjak Administrative Council; but no decision and result have yet been taken on this matter. It has been stated in the report given today by the engineers that an unlicensed construction of the said buildings was still initiated and that it is planned to transform it into a church in the future, depending on its prospective form and appearance. Not only the journeymen have been warned to cease the construction, but a decision has also been taken to impose a fine on them; hence, it is appropriate to notify the said patriarch that the construction work must be halted until a license is obtained.
