To - .
The Honorable President of the Administrative Committee
for Iraqi Jews .
Baghdad .
After greetings,
We attach herewith a copy of the estimated budget for revenues and expenses for the Ezra Menahem Daniel Stadium for the academic year
1 October 1959 to 30 September 1960, and we request its approval. Since the system of sports courses that was implemented in
the past two years successfully has now become an integral part of the students' curriculum, we decided to delay organizing this
estimated budget until now, pending the necessary arrangements to give the students these regular sports lessons and calculating the amounts
required for this purpose in light of the necessary actual expenditures so that we can estimate the budget on a realistic basis. As
the stadium bears the costs of transporting students to and from the stadium, as well as the fees of the trainers chosen for this purpose.
The budget includes an amount of 450/- Dinars for the purpose of supplying the stadium with raw water in order to avoid the
exorbitant expenses currently spent on watering the stadium with pure water, as the water supplied to the stadium by the Baghdad Municipality
was cut off a year ago. Approval has now been obtained from the Water Supply Committee for the Baghdad area to supply the stadium with raw water
via pipes. Most of the required pipes have been purchased, and it is hoped that the supply will be completed before the summer season.
If this is completed, what will be spent on purchasing the external pipes will be considered an advance to the Water Supply Committee to be deducted from
the fees of the water supplied, according to its regulations.
We hope that this estimated budget has met with your approval.
With great respect.

After greetings
We request your Excellency to order an increase in our salaries, which amount to 14/- dinars for each of us, as it is not hidden from you
that our salaries are very meager and we are all heads of families and children, and it is not sufficient to meet our living needs, and as some employees
have had their salaries increased while ours have not, therefore we have come to your Excellency ⟦hoping⟧ for kindness to increase our aforementioned salaries.
This is for your Excellency to decide

After greetings
We attach herewith a copy of the income and expenditure account realized for Ezra Menachem Daniel Stadium from 1 / July / 1958
to 30 / September / 1959. We also attach a copy of the stadium's financial position on 30 / 9 / 1959, both of which are duplicated in the
stadium's books, which have been audited by the committee members.
Salaries and laborers' wages constitute the largest part of the stadium's payments, and during the above-mentioned fifteen months they reached
1619/440 Dinars, as the stadium's activities were seven days a week for the training of Frank Iny School students within
their school sports curriculum.
The fees for raw and pure water reached 290/556 Dinars, as raw water was cut off from the stadium ten months
ago, which forced the administration to use pure water to water the gardens temporarily. The Water Liquefaction Committee has agreed to supply
the stadium with raw water from the Al-Saadoun project via pipes. The necessary pipes have already been purchased and the required fees paid, and it is hoped
that raw water will arrive before the summer season. It will be ⟦...⟧
The amount of 64/670 Dinars was spent to transport Frank Iny School students to and from the stadium during the school year
on attendance days. As for 72/070 Dinars, it was spent on sports equipment, prize cups, and others. The stadium still needs
many pieces of furniture, sports requirements, and lights for the fields. We have previously taken this aspect into account in our estimated budget for the
past year, as we allocated the necessary amounts, knowing that they were not spent, and we must keep this reserve for the coming year and it will be spent only
if necessity dictates it and the committee becomes able to devote itself to this aspect.
The stadium committee had borrowed during the fifteen months ending on 30 / September / 1959 the amount of - / 2000
Dinars, and 682 / 399 Dinars remained from this amount, which is what was carried over to next year's account.
As for the deficit, for the same period it reached 294 / 1776 Dinars, which is requested to be recorded against the endowment of the late Ezra Menachem Daniel.
We are pleased to have been able to perform what we could in terms of work for the sake of the public interest in implementation of the spirit of the late
Ezra Menachem Daniel endowment.
