Fifteenth Meeting 11 / 7 / 1949
Chaired by Mr. Abdullah Obaidia and attended by the members Mr. Daoud Shlomo and Sami Ibrahim Hayim
and Ezra Fattal and Munshi Quraishi.
After approving the minutes of the previous session, the discussion of the appraisal list for the blacksmithing and casting branch
and the machinery branch, prepared by Mr. Munshi Quraishi and Daoud Shlomo, was resumed. After studying it, it was deemed that the amount
required for the machinery branch is approximately -/ 2100 dinars according to list number (1) attached to this
report. As for the blacksmithing branch, it was deemed that the required amount for it is approximately -/ 250 dinars
according to list number (2) attached. It was also deemed appropriate to estimate the supplies for the casting branch at approximately -/ 350
dinars.
It was also deemed that in addition to these five branches, there is another branch that can be added as a specialized branch,
the agricultural machinery branch, where students train to learn about different agricultural machines
and how to operate and repair them. This branch can be studied if the necessary moral resources are available
and if there is a need for it.
It was also raised that the municipal authorities might not approve the establishment of the industrial school in its current location due to it being in a densely populated area. It was found that in this case, it is possible to:
a - Replace the building and land by selling them and buying another in the outskirts of the capital.
in agreement with the ⟦family⟧
b - Construct three houses near the current annex to the school and rent them out,
and use the current building solely as a school for lectures, or rent it to the community to be used as
a middle or elementary school, and rent another suitable location to be used as an industrial school.
The session was adjourned to be held at 6:30 PM on Monday, 18/7/49,
for the purpose of studying the plans and designs prepared by Mr. Sami Ibrahim Hayim for the factories intended to be established
in the vacant lot of the current industrial school to receive practical lessons there.

studied the subject of the sanitary ware and pipes workshop and prepared an estimated list of its supply costs, amounting to approximately
-/ 500 dinars, and due to the absence of Mr. Sami Ibrahim Haim, this topic was postponed for detailed discussion
and the preparation of the final cost list at the next session.
Mr. Ezra Fattal reported that he had prepared an initial list of supplies for the electricity workshop, but he
had not yet estimated its costs and promised to prepare the costs with a detailed list at a future session.
Mr. Daoud Shlomo and Mr. Menashi Kareen promised to prepare a list of supplies and costs for the blacksmithing workshop
and machinery at the next session.

Fifth - for Electricity
with attached divisions such as rooms for teachers and for machines, a laundry room, and a general storage room.
After studying the matter from several angles, it was found more appropriate for Messrs. Abdullah
Obadiah and Sami Ibrahim Hayyim to visit some available factories in Baghdad as a prelude to laying down
the basic lines for the factory intended to be built in the courtyard, provided that Mr.
Sami Ibrahim Hayyim prepares a design in this regard based on this information.

Dear Salim Effendi
Enclosed you will find a copy of the theoretical lesson distribution schedule that I had organized for the
aforementioned industrial school. Since the members of the ⟦committee⟧ of industry requested me in the last session
to study this schedule individually and carefully, I hope you will organize a sufficient number of copies
of this schedule and distribute them to the members so that they can study it and express their requirements in this regard.
Thank you
