Honorable President of the Administrative Committee for Iraqi Jews
Greetings.
Based on what the stadium's interest requires in terms of amending its internal regulations and the consequences thereof. Please consider the following matters and approve them.
1- Approval to amend the internal regulations so that they become more appropriate in terms of the beginning and end of its academic year relative to the academic year of the community schools, in accordance with Article 19 of the aforementioned regulations. Provided that the amended regulations become as stated in the attached printed copy.
2- In view of the expiration of the current stadium committee membership term on July 15, 1959, please approve the extension of this committee's membership until September 30 of this year so that our committee's work during this period acquires legal status, in line with the proposed amendment above in the stadium's regulations.
3- Please approve the allocation of an amount of (590/-) Dinars to be spent on the stadium during the period between 1/7/1959 and 30/9/1959, which is equivalent to a quarter of the amount allocated in the estimated budget for the year beginning 1/7/1958 and ending 30/6/1959, which you previously approved by your decision No. ⟦(1) at the fourth meeting⟧ dated ⟦22/7/58⟧, in line with the same expenditure rate according to this budget. Please note that our committee will submit to you the actual expenditures and revenues for the fifteen-month period that will end on 30/September/1959, when the new academic year for the stadium begins.
Please accept our highest respect.
⟦Abdul Aziz Cohen⟧
President
The Amended System
of the Ezra Menahem Daniel Playground Committee
⟦line⟧
1- The committee shall be called "The Ezra Menahem Daniel Playground Committee". The word playground in this system means
the Ezra Menahem Daniel Playground.
2- In this system, the word member includes the President.
3- The committee consists of three persons appointed by the Mutawalli (Trustee) of the playground. If it is deemed beneficial
later, the number of members may be increased by a proposal from the committee and the approval of the Mutawalli.
4- The duration of the committee membership is three academic years, and the academic year for this purpose is considered to end on
September 30 of each year. On that date, the membership term ends, and members may be re-appointed after
the expiration of their term for one or more times.
5- The committee shall elect, in its first meeting after its formation, a president and a secretary for itself and inform the Mutawalli thereof.
The president is the one who represents the committee and the secretary is the one who executes its decisions. All communications from
the committee are issued with the signature of the president or the secretary.
6- A quorum of the committee consists of two members if the number of members is three or four, provided that the president
is one of them and that the decision is issued by agreement. If the number of members is more than four, a quorum is achieved
if half the number of members or more attend, and decisions are taken by absolute majority. The president has two votes if the
votes are divided equally, and in the absence of the president, the secretary shall substitute for him.
7- The committee may set the rules it deems appropriate for organizing its meetings, their forms, and how to distribute
and arrange work among its members.
8- If one of the members resigns during the committee’s term, the two remaining members shall nominate a third member whose
appointment is approved by the Mutawalli, provided that his membership ends with the other two members. If more than half the number of
committee members resign at once or consecutively without replacing them from time to time, the committee is considered dissolved.
9- a) The committee may invite to its meetings those persons it deems necessary for consultation or for
deputizing them for one of its tasks, provided they do not have a vote in its decisions. It may also appoint
sub-committees from its members or others to carry out the matters it assigns to them, such as monitoring playground buildings and yards
and their repair, or covering some technical aspects of the playground, or organizing the collection of subscription fees or the like,
provided that this appointment is reported to the Mutawalli.
b) The committee may contact the administrations of the Jewish community schools to organize sports affairs for the students
of these schools.
10- The committee shall place all the money at its disposal in a bank whenever the amount exceeds
the regular playground expenses for one month, provided the account is in the name of the committee and withdrawals are made with the signature
of the president and another member of the committee collectively. No expenditure may be made without a decision from the committee.
11- The function of the committee is to monitor the management of the playground and to oversee its various administrative, financial, and sports affairs, and to work
towards its advancement. It is the sole reference for every inquiry or communication regarding its affairs, except for official communications
with local authorities, which are referred to the Mutawalli to handle. The committee has the right of total supervision, inspection, and deciding
sports and training curricula.
12- a) The committee shall set a detailed estimated budget for the playground year by year and submit it to the Mutawalli during
the period between the first day of October and the first day of December. However, if circumstances arise
preventing the preparation of the budget during this period, it may be postponed while informing the Mutawalli of the reasons for that postponement,
provided that this postponement does not exceed the end of January of each year. Spending may be made to cover the playground expenses
throughout the period preceding the approval of the budget by the Mutawalli based on the previous year's budget.
(To be continued p. 2)
- Page 2 -
B) The trustee has the right to study the estimated budget submitted to him for approval or amendment, provided
that this is done within two months from the date the budget is submitted to him. If no result regarding the decision
on this budget is received by the committee from the trustee within these two months, the budget submitted by
the committee is considered approved and effective. In light of this budget, the total amount
paid by the trustee to its account in that year becomes fixed. The committee shall decide what is necessary for the proper
maintenance and control of the stadium accounts, audit them, and report the results to the trustee at the end of each year.
13- All that is collected by the committee or its sub-committees and all revenues that reach it or the stadium
are allocated to it and spent on the stadium according to the committee's opinion. However, it is stipulated that
this expenditure shall not lead to an increase in the trustee's financial responsibility toward the stadium unless
the trustee has approved it prior to the expenditure.
14- The appointment, dismissal, promotion, demotion, and confirmation of stadium employees and their salaries, and all
disciplinary measures applicable to them, are carried out by the committee, except for the manager or technical coach or
whoever acquires their status by performing this function (if any); their appointment, dismissal, promotion, demotion, or
confirmation of salary is carried out by recommendation of the committee and approval of the trustee. In addition, the trustee
may not decide to dismiss, promote, demote, or confirm the technical manager or his salary except based on the committee's proposal
to that effect.
15- At the end of each academic year, the committee must submit a comprehensive report to the trustee on the results
of its work during the year, and it may also submit such observations and suggestions as it deems appropriate for implementation
in the following academic year.
16- The secretary of the committee shall organize a register for the committee's decisions, in which the decisions taken
shall be recorded after the end of each session and signed by the committee members.
17- All committee members shall be honorary and shall not receive any fees for their services.
18- Supervision of the management of any other stadium belonging to the trustee may be entrusted to the committee, such that
the provisions of this same system apply to it.
19- This system may be amended, canceled, or replaced by another to be more suitable for working conditions,
provided that this is done by a decision of the committee approved by the trustee.
The Administrative Committee for Iraqi Jews, in its capacity as the trustee of the Ezra Menahem Daniel Stadium, approved
this amended system by its decision No. ( ) taken on ( ), noting
that the Lay Council had approved the original system under its decision No. ( )
taken on ( ).

The size of the outlet and the meter installed in your aforementioned premises was ½ inch
Then the outlet was replaced and expanded on 22 / 5 / 958 to ¾ inch and a meter was installed
of this size as well, so your consumption increased with the increase in the size of the pipes and the meter, as
the amount of water passed by a ¾ inch meter is double what a ½ inch meter passes
And this is the reason for the increase in your consumption, and therefore please settle the debts amounting to 172/876

It appears that he had a dispute one night outside the stadium with an opponent, which led to the breaking of two bones
of the rib cage and the lower vertebra in the spine, along with other bruises and contusions on his body.
3 - Although this illness of his arose from factors specific to him that have no connection to the stadium, we allowed him to take leave
and receive treatment for a period of nearly three months with full wages, then we gave him several gratuities equivalent to his wages for two other
months. Based on his request to leave work, we gave him final gratuities and obtained a signed discharge of liability from him
which is kept with us. According to what is stated in his petition that the addressee was bedridden in the month of July, we keep
with us receipts proving his receipt of his salaries for several months after that.
4 - Furthermore, the worker Mujbil Khalaf contacted members of the stadium's administrative committee and obtained from each of them
various amounts to help him.
5 - In addition to everything shown above, and despite the stadium having paid the aforementioned individual more than he deserves under the Labor
Law, the stadium is not subject to the Labor Law and its amendments No. (1) of 1958 according to the fifth paragraph
of Article Three of Law No. 82 of 1958 and the amendment of Labor Law No. (1) of 1958.
Also, the aforementioned law specifically excluded those like Mujbil Khalaf under paragraph 1 of Article Two
as he is a "gardener".
Therefore, please inform the complainant of the invalidity of his claims and consider the case closed. Please accept our great
respect ,,
Sincerely,
On behalf of Ezra Menahem Daniel Stadium.
