Since the Hospitals Committee for the Jewish Community in Baghdad is still considering
expanding the Meir Elias Hospital and completing it as required by the expansion of modern medical sciences
and allocating for each branch of medicine a special independent branch, current circumstances
have prompted a benevolent person to donate the construction of a special wing for some mild infectious
diseases such as Typhoid. This wing has been completed and the necessary scientific
and administrative precautions have been taken for this branch. We hope it will receive your moral support especially for the success of this
new sub-institution. Please accept our highest respect;

In response to your letter No. 4001 dated 29 / 10 / 1936 in which you inquired about
the possibility of admitting and treating cases of infectious diseases such as typhoid fever in the private wing
of Meir Elias Hospital .
We inform you that the law does not permit private hospitals to admit and treat cases
of infectious diseases. All diseases that must be reported and the epidemic diseases mentioned
in the first section of the annex to the Infectious Diseases Law of 1926 must be treated only
in government isolation hospitals .
The private wing in Meir Elias Hospital will be very useful for admitting and treating cases
of infectious, contagious, and communicable diseases that occur in the general wards and maternity wards in
your hospital, such as cases of puerperal fever in maternity wards, erysipelas in surgical cases,
post-operative sepsis, dysentery occurring as a complication of other diseases, cancer, and the like.
The infectious diseases that must be reported are monitored only by
the hospitals of the Health Service, as is the case in most other countries .

The Secretariat Council has decided not to allow from now on the connection of any sewer to the public sewers
Therefore, we warn you to remove the sewer of your premises numbered 224 K, your hotel located in the Al-Rashid Street neighborhood

His Excellency the Mayor of the Capital, the Respected
Reference to the warning numbered 26753 dated 13 / 12 / 936 regarding the removal of
the drain of the cafe numbered 266 / 1 K Rashid Street belonging to the endowments of Mir Elias
Hospital
I wish to present to Your Excellency that the aforementioned cafe was recently built and its
drain was connected to the public sewers with permission from the Capital Secretariat. Based on this permission,
a large basement was built under the aforementioned cafe to be used as a warehouse, and the existence of this basement
makes the construction of a water tank completely impossible.
I hope Your Excellency will note that the water flowing into the public sewers
is filtered by a strainer at each end of the private drain so that no
dirt can leak into the public drain. We hope Your Excellency will approve keeping the drain connected
to the public sewers;
Head of the Community
