Report on the Estimated Budget of Ezra Menachem Daniel Stadium
For the year beginning on 1/7/56 and ending on 30/6/57
1- Salaries and Wages -
The amount allocated for this purpose still represents the largest part of our budget due to what is given to the
laborers who manage the stadium's affairs and the construction works that are constantly ongoing to improve
the stadium and maintain it.
2- Electrical Installations.
We have previously mentioned in our earlier reports the project to light the tennis courts for night use in
summer and to light the running track for student training at night. Models of the lamps
required for such courts have already been sent, and we hope they will be purchased during this year.
3- Expenses for sports sessions for students of Frank Iny School and
Menachem Daniel Primary School.
Based on the letter from the Ministry of Education which stipulates physical education for students once or twice a week, and since
the stadium is designated for this purpose, this committee, in cooperation with the administrations of the community schools,
saw the necessity of organizing sports classes in the stadium after school hours. Since such work requires means
of transportation, chaperones, and clothing, we found it necessary to allocate an amount of three hundred dinars for this purpose. It is worth
mentioning that such sports, in addition to benefiting the students, at the same time create a sporting spirit
among them.
