Honorable Chairman of the Administrative Committee for Iraqi Jews
Greetings,
With reference to your letter numbered 66/1177 and dated 10 / 10 / 1966.
We will emphasize to the stadium official, Mr. Ezra Shakoori, the necessity of keeping
as accurate a record as possible of the names of participants from our school students and graduates,
as it is sometimes difficult to track stadium visitors due to their absence from coming for a period
of time and their return to attendance from time to time.
As for increasing the stadium's revenues, our committee will look into the possibility of increasing
subscription fees. Noting that the prevailing belief among the stadium members,
especially the graduating students among them, is that the endowment revenues belonging to the community
exceed the stadium's financial needs. Because of this erroneous belief, most of them
try to evade paying subscription fees most of the time.
Please accept our highest respect.

We will emphasize to the playground supervisor, Mr. Ezra Shakoori, the necessity of keeping a
record as accurate as possible of the names of the participants from our school students and graduates,
as it is sometimes difficult to track the playground patrons due to their absence from coming for a period
of time and their return again from time to time.
As for increasing the playground's revenue, our committee will look into the possibility of increasing
subscription fees. Noting that the prevailing belief among the playground's members,

exceed the financial needs of the playground. Because of this erroneous belief, most of them
try to evade paying subscription fees in most cases.
