Mr. Chairman of the Administrative Committee for the Karaite Jews, Respected
Subject: Construction of a roof from corrugated iron (Ginko)
and wood and building an eave on property
115 / 46 Torat
Greeting
We conducted the inspection in the presence of Yusuf Zakkur and the agriculture department of ⟦God⟧ on
property 46 / 115 Torat, leased by Mr. Sassoon Dori
and in the custody of Hafiz Rubin Suleiman, the agent of the tenant
We reviewed the condition of the property and found that the tenant requests the completion of
the external roof made of wood because the property's roof has
accumulated dirt that affects the furniture, in addition to clearing
any ⟦adjustment⟧ of the grounds from the property's waste, and in agreement
with the tenant that he performs all these matters and the committee shall not bear
except twenty-five dinars of the cost, regardless of its total value,
provided that this amount covers everything in any case without any recourse to
the committee. We request your approval to pay 25 dinars (twenty-five
dinars) to the tenant for the mentioned purpose. The matter is yours.
