His Excellency the Chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Israelite Community, Respectfully
The petition submitted to your Excellency
I have noticed that the inn (Khan) and the basement numbered 54 or 154 A / 113 belonging to your department have been vacant for a long time
due to the previous tenants (Iraqi Industry Company) leaving. Since I wish to lease them, I hope for your approval
to rent them to me.
Respectfully yours,
Jaafar Murad

The inn and basement mentioned above were leased to the Iraqi Company for Industry and Trade
at an annual rent of 850/- Dinars. The lease will end on 24/2/55
The last installment of the rent, amounting to 425/- Dinars, remains owed by the said company
It has been due since 22/7/54, and the company has vacated the premises and is still stalling in payment
Since you wish to lease it to others for the remaining period of the lease.

Submitted to Your Excellency:
We inform Your Excellency that I owe you an amount of fifty dinars from the original
rent for the Khan and two shops belonging to you, numbered 158/158, located in the
Shorja market, since the two shops were frozen by the Frozen Assets Committee and remained frozen
for about five months while the rent was running against me. I ask Your Excellency to waive the
remaining amount I owe, which is fifty dinars, and I thank you.
I also request to delay the term of the promissory note due on 1 / 3 / 952 for four
months, as the markets in general are stagnant and all goods are sold at a loss, so I hope for your approval
of this request, and with all due respect.
