Greetings,
Given the stadium's need to survey the tennis courts and re-
design them for the purpose of completing the lighting of these courts, please
assign the community engineer to carry out this task as quickly as possible
due to the onset of the summer season and the stadium subscribers' need for
night hours.
Be advised that this project is among the projects
for which allocations have been approved in the stadium budget.

His Excellency the Director General of the Water Supply Administration, Respected
Baghdad
After greetings
Since the quantity of water currently supplied to the stadium building numbered 1 / 2 / 1 D.H. and located
on Sa'adoon Street is insufficient to meet the needs of the participants due to the large number of bathrooms and other
sanitary facilities and several sports fields which are very necessary for a stadium with a vast area
such as this stadium, we kindly request you to issue your orders to double the quantity of water supplied in the manner
you see fit, i.e., by providing an independent outlet from the other side of the street.
And to you much gratitude and respect

Brief report on Ezra Menahem Daniel Sports Ground for the academic year
1/7/1956 to 30/6/1957
First - The following is a statement of the general accounts of Ezra Menahem Daniel Sports Ground for the year ending 30/6/1957
which have been audited by the committee and found correct.
A- Salaries and additional wages for workers constitute the largest part of our payments at the ground and
amounted this year to 1052.850 Dinars, while other expenses amounting to 639.115
Dinars, a large part of which, amounting to 160.781 Dinars, was spent on maintaining the courts and preparing
the unplanted section of them. There is an amount of 92.200 Dinars spent on electrical installations to light
a large part of the sports grounds, and there are still some courts that need electrical installations
for lighting, which are hoped to be completed next year.
B- The ground still needs some furniture such as chairs and bar supplies, along with lockers for students and sports
equipment, and we have decided to postpone their purchase for the future.
Second - If we compare the actual expenses of the current year, amounting to about 1700 Dinars, with the estimated expenses
for the same year estimated at 2890 Dinars, we find an amount of about 1200 Dinars
that was not spent, and this is due to the following reasons:-
A- Lack of availability to complete all projects that were hoped to be completed in the past year, the most important of these projects
is lighting the tennis courts so they are suitable for playing at night, and we still believe in the necessity of completing this project in
the coming year.
B- Not purchasing the supplies and furniture that were scheduled to be purchased in the past year.
C- Lack of availability to conduct sports sessions for students of Frank Iny and Menahem Daniel schools as was scheduled to be held
due to the suspension of studies in all schools at that time.
Third - Assets of the Ground
There remained from the original amount borrowed from the Administrative Committee of the Jewish Community during the past year
an amount of 491.645 Dinars (four hundred and ninety-one Dinars and six hundred and forty-five Fils) as shown
in detail in the assets field of the ground on 1/7/1957, and this amount has been carried over to the account of the new academic year
to be spent on the purposes allocated to it.
Please accept our highest respect.

amounted this year to 1052/850 Dinars, while other expenses amounting to 639/115

for lighting, which is hoped to be completed in the coming year.
B- The playground still needs some furniture such as chairs and bar supplies along with lockers for students and sports
equipment, and it was decided to postpone their purchase for the future.
Second - If we compare the actual expenses of the current year, amounting to approximately 1700/- Dinars, with the estimated expenses
for the same year estimated at 2890/- Dinars, we find an amount of approximately 1200/- Dinars
that was not spent, and this is due to the following reasons:-
A- The inability to complete all the projects that were hoped to be completed in the past year, the most important of these projects
is lighting the tennis courts so they are suitable for night play, and we still believe in the necessity of completing this project in
the coming year.
B- Not purchasing the supplies and furniture that were scheduled to be purchased in the past year.
C- The inability to conduct sports sessions for students of the Frank Iny and Menahem Daniel schools as scheduled
