With reference to your letter No. 4/51/1/32286 dated 12/31/1961 (which
we received on 1/24/1962), please be informed that we:
First - Have paid the amount of (11/200) Dinars mentioned in your above letter for the period difference
from 3/7/1960 to 5/7/1960 for filtered water.
Second - Have recently paid the amount of (58/320) Dinars mentioned at the bottom of your letter
referred to above.
Third - As for the amount of (106/920) Dinars that you are claiming from the stadium for the period from
4/28/1960 to 3/31/1961 for raw water, we believe that the raw water fees
for this period are (58/320) Dinars and not (106/920) Dinars, based on
the fees paid by the stadium for the last two years. As the invoices for the last two years
indicate that the (annual) raw water fees are (58/320) Dinars for a full year
and not for six months. We have already paid this amount as well.
Accordingly, and since the stadium belongs to a charitable endowment, please kindly investigate the matter
and verify the area of the stadium garden (excluding tennis courts, basketball and volleyball courts,
and badminton courts), and order the correction of the amount. With much thanks and respect.

Honorable President of the Administrative Committee for Iraqi Jews
After greetings,
We attach herewith a copy of the income and expenditure account realized for the Ezra Menachem Daniel Stadium from 1 October 1960 to 30 September 1961, and we also attach a copy of the stadium's financial position on 30 September
1961, duplicated from the stadium's books which were audited by the members of the Stadium Committee.
The salaries and workers' wages constitute the largest part of the stadium's payments and amounted during the above year to (1327/500)
Dinars. The stadium's activities were seven days a week during most of the academic year, as training was conducted
for Frank Iny School students as part of their school sports curriculum.
The amount (254/740) Dinars is included under the heading (Repairs and various wages, materials for gardens and courts).
(60/000) Dinars are the auditing fees for the stadium's accounts and (50/000) Dinars are legal fees, while the amount
(99/340) under the heading (Sports Expenses) includes the value of cups distributed in sports races
and nets for tennis, volleyball, and basketball.
Electricity expenses during the year amounted to (99/365) Dinars and include the re-lighting of the volleyball court
and the lighting of the badminton court and the garden. (20/000) Dinars were paid as transportation costs for moving
Frank Iny School students to and from the stadium.
Furthermore, the stadium still needs many pieces of furniture, sports items, and lights for the garden and tennis courts.
We have already reserved for this aspect in our estimated budget as we allocated the necessary amounts, knowing
that they were not all spent, and we must keep this reserve for the current year and it will only be spent if
necessary and if it becomes possible for the Committee to devote itself to this aspect.
The Stadium Committee had received during the year ending 30 / 9 / 1961 an amount of (2060/000) Dinars
which was added to (500/563) Dinars remaining from the previous year, making the total (2560/563) Dinars.
The total expenses of the stadium for the above year reached (2070/168) Dinars and the income was (207/408) Dinars, thus
the deficit is (1862/760) Dinars, which is requested to be charged to the endowment of the late Ezra Menachem Daniel.
In this regard, we are pleased to have been able to perform what we ⟦could⟧ do in terms of work for the public interest
in implementation of the spirit and content of the late Ezra Menachem Daniel's endowment.
Please accept our highest respect.
