His Excellency the Chairman
To the Presidency of
The Administrative Committee
of Iraqi Jews
Baghdad
After greetings,
We attach herewith a copy of the estimated budget for revenues and expenses for the Ezra Menahem Daniel Stadium
for the school year <del>starting</del> from ⟦1/7/58⟧ to ⟦30/6/59⟧, and we hope for its approval.
Since the "Sports Sessions" system, which was successfully implemented last year, has now become
an integral part of the students' academic curriculum, we have decided to ensure the ⟦progress⟧ of organizing this budget
estimate until now, pending the necessary arrangements to give students these regular physical education lessons
and calculating the amounts allocated for this purpose in light of the required expenses.
Accordingly, so that we can estimate the budget on a basis close to reality,
The stadium bears the costs of transporting male and female students to and from the stadium, and also bears the sports teacher's fees
Answer for this purpose
Please accept the expression of our highest respect.

The Ezra Menachem Daniel Playground Committee had decided to ban the following students
named below from entering the playground due to their misconduct.
Samir Yusuf Sa'at
Ghazi Salim Al-Mujallad
Shaul Rahmin Aqirab
However, despite our insistence that they should not frequent the playground, they did not comply with the committee's decisions, but rather
they began causing riots, to the extent that one of them, Samir Sa'at, attacked the bar worker, assaulted
him and wounded him, which caused an exchange of blows, punches, insults, and the uttering of phrases inappropriate for such
an institution, which began to affect the comfort of the rest of the male and female students, their morals and behavior, and affects
the order in the playground. Therefore, I request that the necessary measures be taken to prevent these students from frequenting the playground.
Please accept, Your Eminence, the assurances of my highest gratitude and respect.

After greetings,
We attach herewith a copy of the income and expenditure account realized for the Ezra Menahem Daniel Stadium from
1/7/1957 to the end of 30/6/1958, and we also attach a copy of the general budget for the same year, both of which
are duplicated from the stadium's books that have been audited by the members of the Stadium Committee.
Salaries and workers' wages constitute the largest part of the stadium's payments, and reached in this year
1184/600 Dinars, including an amount of 120/- Dinars as sports lecture fees by a second coach who trained
the students of the solidarity classes of the Frank Iny School and also trained the rest of the stadium students on the days when the permanent
coach of the stadium did not attend. Thus, the stadium's activities have become based on 7 days a week instead of five days previously.
Please note that this coach's fees were included in our estimated budget under the heading of additional lecturers, which we estimated
at the time at 300/- Dinars.
As for the other expenses amounting to 364/539 Dinars, a large part of them was spent on the maintenance of the fields,
preparation, irrigation, and other expenses required by such an institution. Also, in this expense field, there is a transportation item,
and this amount contains what was paid by the stadium to bring students to the stadium and return them to their homes after the regular
training as part of their school sports curriculum, and this was also spent within the estimated sports expenses.
As for the water fees amounting to 53/804 Dinars, they do not show the total water fees in the stadium because the bills
for raw water fees have not been sent to us for a year and a half. Therefore, we will add about 63/- Dinars for this debt
in the budget for the next fiscal year.
The stadium is still in need of much furniture, sports equipment, and lights for the fields, and we have previously
noted this in our estimated budget, but it was not spent. We must keep this reserve for the next year, and it will be spent
only if necessary and if the committee is able to devote itself to this aspect.
An amount of 478/332 Dinars remained from the total amount received from the committee during the past year,
as detailed in the general budget dated 1/7/1958, and this amount has been carried over to the account of the new academic year.
We are pleased to have been able to perform what we could in the way of work for the public interest, in implementation
of the spirit of the endowment of the late Ezra Menahem Daniel.
On behalf of the Ezra Menahem Daniel Stadium Committee
The President.

Because the payroll lists for actual performance have not been sent to us for a year and a half. These will cost

We hope that we have been able to perform what work we could for the sake of the

By the hand of the ⟦respected⟧ committee
We attach herewith a copy of the income and expenses account for Ezra Menahem
Daniel Stadium from 1/1/1957 to the end of 31/12/1957. We also attach ⟦also⟧ a copy of the general budget
for the same year, both of which are derived from the stadium's books which were audited by the members of
the Stadium Committee
Salaries and laborers' wages constitute the largest part of the stadium's expenses and have reached
this year 1184/600 Dinars, which includes an amount of 400 Dinars as lecture fees for things by the hand of a trainer
Scouts who trained the students of the Solidarity classes, Touriya and Ziyan Issa, as he also trained the rest of the stadium students
on the days when the permanent trainer of the stadium did not attend, and thus the stadium activities became throughout the week
not ⟦only⟧ days a week as they were previously. Please note that the fees for this
trainer were ⟦written⟧ in the estimated records under the title "additional lecturers" whose total is
800 Dinars 549/464
As for the other expenses amounting to 549/464 Dinars, a large part of them was spent on the maintenance
of the fields, preparation, irrigation, and other expenses required by an institution such as this. Also, in the field of
these expenses is a "transportation" item, and the amount contains what was paid by the stadium to bring students to
the stadium and return them to their homes after the regular ⟦athletic⟧ training as part of their school sports curriculum
and this was also spent from the ⟦amount⟧ within the estimated "sports expenses"

To the Presidency of the Administrative Committee of the Jewish Community in Baghdad
After greetings,
We enclose herewith the estimated budget for the revenues and expenditures of the Ezra Menachem Daniel Playground
for the school year beginning on 1 / 7 / 1957 and ending on 30 / 6 / 1958, with the request
to approve it while noting the following:
First - We have allocated two separate sections for expenditure entitled "Fees for additional lecturers" and "Fees
for student transport drivers" as required by the interest of giving the students regular lessons
in physical education. This necessitated bringing in additional trainers with fees on the basis
of lectures, as it also required transporting students to the playground back and forth for this purpose.
Second - We decided to delay submitting the playground budget until the necessary arrangements were completed to give the students
regular physical education lessons, and to calculate the amounts required for this purpose
in light of the necessary actual expenditures, so that we could estimate the budget on
a basis close to reality.
Please accept our highest respect.
