Subject - Audit report for the year 48 / 49
To Mr. Shlomo Somikh
Greetings,
With reference to your letter No. G/ 413 / 950 dated 3 / 1 / 1950 regarding the submission of remarks
on the audit report of the hospitals' accounts by the auditor Mr. Shlomo Somikh for the year 48 / 1949.
Meir Elias Hospital
Paragraph (2) - (Salaries and Cost of Living)
Zaki Ibrahim, Munshi Yusuf, and Hamid Mahdi were employed in the Radiology Department, and it was found at the time
that there was no justification for not paying the grant to them, as they receive a specific salary whether the salary is paid from the
hospital fund as part of the staff or deducted from the radiology revenues to be paid to them according to the terms of employment
of the radiologist for the service of the ⟦illegible⟧ and the grant was paid according to the committee's decision made on 19 / 5 / 1948 according to
a list containing the names of those to whom the grant was paid.
Paragraph (3) - (Daily Marketing Lists)
Provisions - The classification of patients into three grades in terms of food exists and has been in practice previously according to
the regulations.
Paragraph (5b) - (Ketubot Fees)
The committee's decision to waive the hospital's share of the marriage contract fee for Meir Sassoon was based on the approval
of the Lay Council at that time for the settlement.
Paragraph (8) - (Revenues of Nuriel Endowments)
(To be continued)

Archival unit 437

(Previous)
The trustee will provide us with details of the revenues and expenditures for the Rifqa Nurael endowments annually in the future.
Paragraph (9) - (Receipts)
The hospital administration will deduct (250 fils) from the share due to Dr. Tokar.
Paragraph (10) - (Patients' Fees)
A - These amounts will remain suspended as debts owed by their owners in the hope that they can be collected from them.
B - These amounts will remain suspended for a period of one year, and the amounts not claimed by their owners after the end of
the year will be considered revenue for the hospital.
Paragraph (12) - (Revenue and Expenditure Account)
The excess occurring in the items listed below was for the following reasons: ⟦line⟧
Fuel and soap - The excess in this item was mostly due to the increase in the price of soap, as
ordinary tallow soap was used, the price of which is much higher than the price of
Australian soap that was used in the previous year and which
the hospital administration used to obtain from the Local Products Directorate.
Electricity - Water - Telephone - The excess occurred as a result of expanding the hospital buildings, including the Shirazi building
and the Yehuda Nunu building.
Miscellaneous expenses - The excess occurred due to the breakdown of the water irrigation machine and spending more than -/100
dinars to repair it.
Other items - A minor excess necessitated by necessity.
Paragraph (13) - (Allocations of the Lay Council)
The Lay Council had decided to grant the committee special allocations amounting to -/2500 dinars for the salary of Dr.
Israel for the six-month period ending on 4/30/1948. If this amount is added to the approved allocations
for the year 47/48, amounting to -/3750 dinars, the total would be -/4000 dinars; however, we did not receive
during that year except -/3950 dinars, so the remainder, amounting to -/50 dinars, is a claim against the Council if
we take into account that the Council's allocations for the year 48/49 are -/4000 dinars, so the amount supposed
to be paid during this year is -/4050 dinars, which is the amount actually received.
Paragraph (15) - (Assets)
The amount of 121/825 dinars represents the hospital's claim against the two patients Munther al-Askari and Salim Abdul Aziz;
please keep them as debts in the hope of collecting them.
Rima Khedouri Hospital
In view of what has been established to the Council regarding the actions of the former administrator of Rima Khedouri Hospital, Mr. Elias Samira,
and his dismissal from service according to the Council's recent decision, we see no need to delve deeper into the investigation of the points mentioned in
the auditor's report; nevertheless, the committee has decided to leave the handling of this matter to your esteemed Council.

Both Dr. Albert Salman Karchi and Ezra Kashi signed next to the amounts paid to them as confirmation of receipt, while

Dear ⟦Sawda'i⟧
The loan from Nuriel School
I have reviewed the account today in the ledger (see p. 282)
And it appears from the attached offsets wrapped by the teacher
That you have paid 9 installments of the principal loan, and these amount with
The interest to 9 × 155 = 1395 Dinars
And as shown in the letter from the Albert Sassoon School
Meaning 7 × 155 = 1085
The difference is 210 Dinars
Therefore, I hope for your assistance in this matter and to verify this difference yourself ⟦immediately⟧
And inform me
Sincerely
