Summary (also from the previous page)

On 14 April 1777, some benefits were added. The intention was to provide Tanjong and the markets, along with the village Loembang, with something to provide a living. In a later letter from 27 February, it was decided to let the first mentioned person decide whether to lease the village Pinger Pappas to either Iang Boeijko or Tjong Hangsaaij for a period of 5 years, for 2000 Dutch dollars per year. The officials reported that the Sumanap salt village Pinger Pappas was leased to Hang Boeijko for 5 years, starting from 1 May until end of April 1782, for 2000 Dutch dollars, according to their earlier proposal from 24 December 1776. Tjong Hengsaaij received the following leases for his lifetime:
  • the large and small markets under the Sumanap region for 600 dollars
  • the village Grissee Poetie for 30 dollars
  • the village Loembong for 250 dollars
  • total of 880 dollars in favor of the regent
The officials hoped this would meet the high intentions, while the Governor expressed his gratitude for the consideration given to him. On 14 April 1777, a proposal was made to create a fund to lend idle capital with interest. The proposal from the orphan masters to secure their money in the Company's treasury was rejected. It was suggested that other secure methods should be found to relieve the chamber of idle funds, without burdening the Company. Not only the orphan masters needed help, but also estate administrators and the deaconry needed assistance, as it became increasingly difficult to invest their money securely according to their instructions. The community was small, and many preferred to go to private individuals who accepted only a single mortgage or guarantors. This caused the interest-free capital of orphans and the poor to grow while income decreased. By end of February, the orphan masters had fallen so far behind that the earned interest amounted to only 19 dollars, 32, 15. After long consideration, the officials could find no better or more secure solution than the one they proposed.
