22 / 5 / 1955 Respectable Chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Israelite Community After greetings: Muhammad Fannas, the tenant of shop number 9 B / 81, had delayed renewing his lease agreement under the pretext that the Municipality would demolish the property, and indeed the Municipality sent a warning to us and to the tenant to demolish the shop. Now news has arrived from the lawyer that he will delay the lawsuit because the shop is old and will be demolished. I, in turn, told the tenant that we have won the lawsuit and the remainder must be paid as a rent amounting to 100 Dinars annually instead of the previous eighty Dinars. After the lawyer sent him a warning, he came and we agreed with him that he pays fifty Dinars in cash and the rest in installments, and we organized a contract for him for that. We hope for approval to sign the contract, and many thanks to you. Property Officer ⟦signature⟧ He has no previous contract
