This document is a certificate of registration to Mr. Mahrous from the Government of Palestine Land Registry Office of Beersheba District (Kaza) with a petition number of 6/26 and deed number 42/26. The certificate contains the land classification, description of the property, boundaries, the area of land, the shares, the nature of the transaction, and consideration of price. This certificate not only shows Mr. Mahrous was the owner of the land described therein, but it also demonstrates the historical significance of the Palestinian State institutions and property mechanisms that were in place by municipalities to determine and register land ownership at the time. Mr. Mahrous went through the proper channels and obtained the required certification in order to complete his vision of industrializing Beersheba. As we see at the bottom there are two authentication methods used: one being the Seal of Land Registry Office dated November 8th, 1926, and the second being the Signature of Registrar of Lands.
