Because there are not enough beasts to pull the water sprinkling caravan, and in order to prevent the harm caused by dust, ‘Abdul-Jawâd ‘Abdîn the water carrier has been contrated to sprinkle water in the carriage road that extends from Bâb al Qishra to the municipality’s building, and from there to the end of the exterior road morning and night in a manner that prevents the stirring up of dust. The appointee will be given a salary of 300 piasters a day from the municipality’s treasury, but if there is weakness in sprinkling water on the mentioned roads in the required manner, his daily fee will be deducted according to his pledge and agreement. His daily payment from the municipality’s treasury, starts the day he commences work, which is the 31st of Mâyis (1)333. Therefore, this decision was issued on the 3rd of Huzayrân (1)333.

The flow of water from the pools to Jerusalem has decreased, and because the rain has been late and poor people are in need of drinking water, deliberations have been carried out, and it was decided to transfer part of the water of (the source of) Artas to the (Solomon’s) pools’ path. Accordingly, it has been decided to install the pump on Artâs village water and pump it to the canal of the pools until rainfall. For this, one of us, Hâj Ibrâhîm Effendi, one of the engineers and the mechanic were assigned to the task. Hâj Ibrâhîm Effendi will be paid 50 piasters per day, and the municipal inspector will be paid 8 piasters according to the official currency, while the engineer and the rest of the workers will be paid the necessary fees from the municipality’s treasury. In order to obtain approval, this decision was taken on the 28th of Tishrîn Awwal (1)326 (10th of November 1910).
