Subject: Endowments of Meir Elias Hospital
To:
Presidency of the Lay Council
Baghdad
We would like to present to your esteemed council the following clarifications regarding the endowments of Meir Elias Hospital:
1- Most of the hospital's endowments have become unfit for habitation as a result of
not being rented out after their previous tenants left them, and as a result, they have become vulnerable
to the theft of their materials and wood, the collapse of some of their walls, the breaking of their doors, and some
people resorting to living in them.
2- In view of the vacancy of these endowments, the hospital administration sent a letter to
the Directorate of General Revenues regarding the vacancy of these properties for the purpose of waiving the property tax
on them. After multiple follow-ups with the mentioned directorate, it demanded the payment of all property taxes
due on those endowments first, and then it would consider the requests based on
the special orders regarding that, bearing in mind that some endowments have taxes due on them
for two years or more.
3- These procedures were within the knowledge and presence of the Vice President of the Lay Council,
and the Director General of Revenues had promised him to waive the tax for a month before the date of vacancy
in the event that the outstanding amounts were paid.
4- We would like to point out to your esteemed council the necessity of taking quick steps for this entire
issue, given the passage of time and the approaching end of the fiscal year and the submission of
the new year, and other amounts will become due, and this leads to a large financial loss
for the hospital, which it can do without if steps were taken to pay the previous debt that is
recoverable.
5- We attach herewith a list of the hospital's endowments with some notes for your kind
perusal and to order what is necessary and inform us, please.
Please accept our highest respect.
