The Honorable Budget Committee
Report of the Budget Committee regarding the budget of the Schools Committee for the year 1934
63 In the session of November 5, our committee studied the budget submitted by the Schools Committee and decided the following:
1) We found that the schools budget was prepared on a precise basis, in a clear technical manner, and based on real figures supported by documents.
2) We found that the amounts estimated for salaries have been reduced to the lowest possible limit, and despite that, the schools budget for the current year shows a deficit
amounting to ⟦...⟧ Dinars and ⟦...⟧ Fils.
3) The aforementioned deficit is resulting from the increase in the number of students in the Israelite schools by a very large percentage, as their number reached this year ⟦...⟧ (3
students, while their number last year was (⟦...⟧) students, meaning an increase of (⟦...⟧) students in one year.
4) The Israelite schools annually receive a large number of children of the poor and needy for free, and their number this year has reached ⟦...⟧
students.
5) The amounts allocated for books, stationery, and school supplies have been reduced to the minimum, and no further reduction can be made in them.
6) Based on the above, our committee proposes to approve the budget of the Schools Committee as submitted.
7) Regarding the aforementioned deficit, our committee proposes that the deficit be covered from the amounts carried over from last year's budget and from
donations and gifts received by the Schools Committee during the year.

in the amount of eight hundred fils for this woman, and the total of those aids has not decreased since the first of Rajab for the year 81
at the date of our current review. According to what was mentioned above, this, her only means of living, has decreased by its amount.
And since you said that the condition of my sick son does not allow him to work to support his mother, therefore the aforementioned woman pleads
with the abundance of your kindness that you do not deprive her of the statement that he was not helped and he has the needs of her hungry son and to fill this deficiency.
And since there is a request for a meeting before the aids whose salaries did not increase among her colleagues in the profession,
Accordingly, and for this reason, her hope in your excellence is an abundance of care and your position, and please accept the highest respect.
