اجتمعت اللجنة الاستشارية لتركة المرحوم رفائيل كباي مساء الاحد ٢٢ حزيران ١٩٤١
وقررت ما يلي :
بعد الاطلاع على الكتاب المرقم ٣٧٤١ بتاريخ ٢٧ مارت ١٩٤١ الوارد من الامين
الرسمي للبنغال في الهند الموجه الى رئاسة الطائفة ورئاسة المجلس الجسماني وجدت
هذه اللجنة ان الامين الرسمي المذكور قد اشترط ان تكون المؤسسة التي يفرد لها نصيب
في التركة قائمة في وقت وفاة الموصي المرحوم رفائيل هارون كباي الذى توفي في ٢٧ نوفمبر
١٩٢٢ وان لا تكون من الكنائس وعلى ان يجرى الانتقاء من بين المؤسسات التي ورد ذكرها
في القائمة المربوطة بالكتاب المذكور وهي تلك المؤسسات التي وصلت عرائضها ليد الامين
حتى ٣١ اوكست ١٩٣٨ .
وقد ظهر للجنة كذلك من الكتاب المذكور ان مبلغ التركة الموصى به قد بلغ حتى تاريخ
الكتاب المذكور ١ - ١٢ . ٦٤٧ . ٤٠٠ روبية وهو ما يقارب ٢٩٩٠٠ باون استرليني .
وعليـــــــــــــــه ونظرا للاسباب الموضحه اعلاه فقد اصبح من الضروري
اعادة النظر في المقررات التي اتخذتها اللجنة في ١٦ نيسان ١٩٤١ عندما لم تكن
هذه الشروط معلومة لديها لتاخر ورود الكتاب المرقوم بعد صدور تلك المقررات .
وبعد المداولة وجدت ان المؤسسات التالية كانت قائمة وقت وفاة الموصي وهي لا تزال
تؤدى الخدمات النافعة للطائفة حتى الان وهي باشد الاحتياج للمساعدة لذلك قررت
توزيع المبلغ الموصى به كما يلي :-

Copy of the letter of the Official Trustee of Bengal
No. 3741 dated 27th March 1941.
Dear Sirs,
I am in reseipt of your letter of the 18th March handed over to me
by Mr. M. Laniado, advocate of Jerusalem.
I am prepared to follow the same system for distributionof the
Baghdad Charities as was agreed to by Mr. Morgan, my predecessor in
office, for distribution of the Jerusalem Charities.
I also approve of the proposed Committee and of its personnel. As
suggested the Committee should get the recommendation of the British
Consul in Baghdad.
It has been held that selection should be made out of those
Institutions which were in existence at the time of dwath of the
testator R.A.Gubbay, who died on the 27th November 1922 and that
synagogues are not to participate in distribution of the fund meant
for Jewish Charitable Institutions. I give below a list of the Jewish
Institutions in Baghdad from which applications were received up to
31st August 1938 ( the last date advertised for reoeiving applications)
Selection should be made out of these Institutions having regard to
what has been said above.
I hold the following funds for the Jewish Charitable Institutions
in Baghdad:-
5% Loan of 1945-55 for Rs 2,91,400/-(face value)
3% Defence Bonds of 1946 for Rs 65,700/- ( face value)
Cash balance Rs 837-12-1
The value of the funds is calculated as follows:-
5% Loan of 1945/55 for Rs 2,91,400/- @ Rs 111-14-0% Rs ⟦3⟧,26,003-12-0
3% Defence bonds of 1946 for Rs 65,7000/- @ Rs ,66,521-4-0
Rs 101-4-0%..
Cash balance as above .. .. 837-12-1
intt. due on the 14th April 1941 on 5% Loan of
1945/55 for Rs 291400/-.. Rs, 7,285-0-0
⟦line⟧
Rs 4,00,647-12-1
which sum works out to £29,900/-approximately in sterling .
I shall be glad to hear from you in due course and to see <del>Mr</del>.
Laniado further on this matter.
