Minutes of the Balaciyan Majlis which will be nelu on
Thursday the 18th Rajab 1358(23-9-37).
1. License fees from professionals.
As the Majlis, during the last meeting, postponed
discussion over Article 6 dealing with the taxes required
by the Baladiyah to be imposed on professionals, this
subject may be reconsidered.
2 . Petrol Service Station.
The petrol service station situated on Government
Road is not on^good place as there are many cars and busses
K
in the town which use Government and Baladiyan Roads. As
the Service Station is situated on the centre of the roads
and as the cars and other things vhicn stop there for
petrol, block the passage, this may result in danger. The
place for service station should not be on the streets and
roaos. Secondly the service station must use two pumps for
the distribution of petrol.
3. Alarm Bells for Fires.
I find it necessary to fix some more bells in the
tom as there are only <j of them now which are insufficient
4. Hana Pumps.
The Adviser has been kind enough to present two nano
pumfcxto the Baladiyah to be used for sprinkling crude oil
on the dirty places in tne town anc between the houses.
