Paragraph Four (Milk Supply Contractor)
The committee decided in its fifteenth meeting on 2/26/1947 not to allow nurses
and attendants to reside in the hospital. At the same time, the committee noticed that some people were eating
their meals in the hospital without justification, such as some janitors and employees, and among them was the milk supplier, who
was provided with breakfast daily. So, that food was cut off from them. The milk supplier objected, stating that he used to deduct thirty
bottles per month from the value of the milk in exchange for having breakfast, and that was by agreement between him and the former committee chairman, Mr. Meir Dangour.
He refused to deduct the mentioned quantity. Upon verifying this claim, the secretary, Mr. Eliyahu ⟦Questem⟧,
agreed at the time not to deduct the mentioned quantity of milk. The milk supply contract was indeed renewed from 10/19/1947
on this basis. Nevertheless, it was necessary to support this with a decision from the committee at the time.
Paragraph Five (Expenses not supported by receipts)
We noted this aspect and instructed the hospital administration to obtain the required receipts.
Paragraph Seven (Property Revenues)
Lease contracts were organized for all properties that were not supported by lease contracts in the names of the previous rental
amounts, which indicates the correctness of the rental amounts recorded in the registers. As for the properties for which no
rent was realized, we list our notes about them in the table below.
