The Lay Council of the Jewish Community in Baghdad List of Bidding Conditions for the Gabilla and Intestines Lease Statement of the bidding list for the Gabilla and intestines for a full year starting from April 1, 1949, to the end of March 1950, concerning sheep and goats slaughtered in the Jewish slaughterhouse in Baghdad according to the following conditions: First - The Lay Council in Baghdad may grant the lease of the Gabilla and intestines together, or the Gabilla alone, or the intestines alone, whether by number or in bulk. Second - The Gabilla is a fee of fifteen fils per kilogram of Kosher meat, eggs, kidneys and their fat, and the fetus (Quzi) found inside its mother, and the intestines according to current practice, provided that the fetus shall be outside the scope of the Gabilla fee if the slaughter of pregnant ewes is not permitted by any government authority. This fee shall be collected from the slaughterings of the slaughterhouse belonging to the Jewish community in Baghdad, Adhamiyah, and Karrada that are offered for sale to Jews. Third - The intestines shall be taken in kind from Kosher and Treif sheep, goats, and cows slaughtered in the community's slaughterhouse mentioned in the center of the Baghdad Province, provided that the lessee receives them delivered at the slaughterhouse, where he shall be responsible for the cost of collecting and transporting them without any prior objection from him if they appear cut, small, or black. Fourth - Cash insurance must be paid at a rate of ten percent 10% to the Lay Council's fund toward the lease amount, provided that it shall be credited toward the last two remaining months of the lease term, and the remainder of the fee shall be collected in twenty installments. Each mentioned installment shall be linked to a promissory note issued to the order of the Lay Council. The note for the first installment is due on April 15, 1949, and thus the maturities of the notes linked to the successive installments follow every fifteen consecutive days, so that the last installment ends on January 30, 1950. Fifth - A reliable guarantee shall be taken from the lessee ensuring the execution of the lease contract terms and the payment of the notes when their consecutive due dates arrive. In the absence of this, the cash insurance shall be increased to a rate of twenty percent 20% instead of the aforementioned guarantee. Sixth - The maturity of each of the aforementioned bills of exchange implies the necessity of immediate and prompt payment. Upon refusal to pay as mentioned, the Council alone has the right to choose to terminate the lease without the need for prior notice, and to grant it to others at the price it deems appropriate for the account of the original lessee, with the right to claim against the latter for the deficiency in the amount and the legal interest starting from the date the right of termination becomes valid.

Seventh - The strike of butchers and their refusal to slaughter sheep for any reason whatsoever, and their monopolization of sheep with the intent of reducing what is offered for sale of meat and increasing its price, all of this leads the contractor alone to the obligation of bringing a sufficient number of sheep for slaughter to meet what the Jewish community in Baghdad needs of Kosher meat at a rate of 4800 kilos per day and 5200 kilos for every Friday, excluding Saturdays, as long as the strike and monopoly persist. In the event the contractor fails to do so, the Council alone has the right to terminate the contract immediately and grant it to others, and demand compensation from the contractor in accordance with what was stated in the previous paragraph regarding taking the necessary measures to meet the community's meat needs at the expense of the mentioned contractor and demanding the difference resulting from the decrease in the consideration with the statutory surplus starting from the date of the occurrence of the strike and monopoly. Eighth - The Lay Council shall not be charged with any compensation whatsoever for an incident or incidents that may have arisen from force majeure causes such as the occurrence of heavenly plagues or earthly accidents or the issuance of government orders or other cases related to the scarcity of Kosher meat or the interruption of slaughter within a legitimate excuse or facing difficulty in selling Taref meat or the strike of butchers or their monopolization of sheep and other reasons that were not within the possibility of prevention. Ninth - The exempt days excluded from entering the duration of the contract are the first nine days of the Hebrew month of Av, Yom Kippur (Atonement), i.e., the tenth day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei, and one of the first and last two days for each of the Sukkot festivals (Tabernacles), i.e., the fifteenth, sixteenth, twenty-second, and twenty-third of the Hebrew month of Tishrei, and Passover (Pesach), i.e., the fifteenth, sixteenth, twenty-first, and twenty- second of the Hebrew month of Nisan, and Shavuot (Revelation of the Torah), i.e., the sixth and seventh of the Hebrew month of Sivan, and all Saturdays. Tenth - All expenses required for the slaughterhouse during the contract period, including lighting, cleaning, guarding, water fees, and others, are the responsibility of the contractor, and the Council is not required to pay any of them. Eleventh - The contracting process, the organization of bonds and their delivery to the person to whose order they are written, the provision of the aforementioned guarantee, and the concern for paying the remainder of the deposit and the brokerage fee that will be mentioned in paragraph (b) of Article 14, all of this should be completed within one week starting from the date of the Council's decision on the final award of this contract. If the contractor fails to fulfill one of the mentioned conditions, the Council may terminate the contract and hold the contractor liable for all resulting damage, loss, compensation, and surplus as stated in items six and seven of this contract. Twelfth - The matter of Kosher and Taref discipline and the religious procedures branching from it belongs to the specialized Rabbis only. The contractor has no right to raise any objection or opposition against any measure or procedures carried out by the aforementioned Rabbis, as they alone have the right to decide what relates to discipline without the intervention of anyone else at all.
Archival unit 43
Thirteen - If the slaughterers of the slaughterhouse go on strike and refrain from slaughtering based on sectarian differences, and the Council takes upon itself the slaughtering process in the slaughterhouse based on the strike arising from the aforementioned sectarian differences, the contractor has the right to claim from the Council the daily commitment fee for the duration of the strike only (the daily commitment fee is the quotient of the total commitment fee divided by the number of days on which slaughtering is carried out during the year). Fourteen - The Corporeal Council reserves the following points: (a) The Council may organize the contract on the bases mentioned above within the regulations in order to secure its rights on the bases of the commitment. (b) All necessary expenses such as the half percent brokerage fee, the authentication of the commitment contract by the notary public, the value of stamps, and other fees shall be the sole responsibility of the contractor, and the Council shall not participate in them. (c) What is relied upon regarding this commitment is the written contract only. (d) The Council has the option to extend the period of the final award if it deems it necessary, and it alone has the right to confirm the final award, cancel it, or accept other additions within three full days starting from the day following the aforementioned award. (e) Half of the brokerage fee mentioned in paragraph (b) of this article is due to the broker appointed by the Council, who is ⟦illegible⟧, and the other half to the broker who brings the final bidder and through whom the commitment contract is concluded and finalized in his charge, and the full brokerage amount is collected from the contractor and given to the two aforementioned brokers by the Council. Appendix (1): Slaughtering must be restricted to the city of Baghdad alone, and no slaughtering may be carried out in Karrada or Adhamiya except after the approval of the Council. (f) If the contractor wishes to be provided with a certificate stating the number of heads of Kosher and Taref consumed during the year of commitment, he alone must pay the salary of the employee appointed by the Council to supervise the process of separating Kosher expenses from Taref in the slaughterhouse.
