Midwifery Commitment
The commitment for midwifery and sealers has been put up for auction
individually and in bulk for a full year starting from the first of

those interested should visit the Lay Council in the administration
of the Israelite community No. 16-118 to review
the conditions of the mentioned commitment. The public auction
will take place on Sunday, March 9, 930,
and the final award on Thursday the 13th of it.

the League disputes it; and its press is confused by it. This is the
year that these newspapers, which are opposed to the
mandate policy and rebellious against injustice and aggression, seek to support.
A fact we mention for history without fear or favoritism.
If Al-Rafidan newspaper, for example, publishes joyful news
about Ibn Saud, it does not mean that it supports him
against Iraq or sides with one monarch against another.

Commitment of the Fayla
The commitment for the Fayla and intestines has been put up for auction
by retail and wholesale for a full year starting from the first of
April 1930 until the end of March 1931. So, whoever
wishes should consult the Lay Council in the administration
of the Israelite community No. 16 - 118 to review
the conditions of the mentioned commitment. The public auction
will take place on Sunday, March 9, 930,
and the final award on Thursday the 13th of it.

And we only mean by it the city of Kufa or what
they call "Sarihat al-Kufa" or "the Bridge of
Kufa". It is about a mile away from the
ancient historical Kufa Mosque. It is a sub-district according
to the administrative formation, located on the banks of the Euphrates
"Al-Hindiya branch" after the lands of Alwa al-Fahl
and the shore of Al-Bu Hadari directly towards the south.
Najaf is distant from it, which is the district to which
the Kufa sub-district belongs, by about eleven miles
towards the west. Kufa was developed in its early
days as a port for the trade of Najaf and a center for their travels.
