Xt has previously been decided that eight wornwen should oe
employed for levelling the roads for a period of two months
which are due to exp if e during these days. As the roads
have not yet been levelled as desired, I think that the
period should be extended furthermore so that the necessary :
roads may be levelled.
The taladeyah have been taking up the task of daily I
sweeping and cleaning the ’Donkey Stand* where the Hinaini
water is brought, without collecting any tax. As the
Baladeyah own several plots of land near the market, it
would undoubtedly be benefitted if a particular place is
fixed for sellers of Hinaini water and a tax collected in
return for that. rhis method will also be good to the
public interests as such a place will be kept clean and
cared for.
3) . As the ialadeyah prevent the people of the market from
using weights which have not been approved of, several
unchangeable weights have been ordered, but on investigation
being made, I find that iron and other short weights are
still being used in the market. If the haladeyah re-issue
the ’Alan and impress on all the traders not to use the
weights which have not been approved of by the Baladeyah,
very satisfactory results would have been achieved. How
the Baladeyah have nearly 150 sets of brass weights.
4) . At present the Baladeyah spend a large amount on motor-car J
hire for the use of the Inspecting Committee and the
Secretary etc., The expenses would be less if the
Baladeyah had bought a second hand car dor these purposes.
I am submitting this question for the consideratidn of the
