Hirsch Summary
In a city where, according to local custom, landlords annually cleaned the chimneys of tenants at their own expense, it was ordered that the soot be delivered to the medical academy for payment. Does the revenue belong to the tenants or the landlords? Who, if necessary, will bear the chimney cleaning costs in the future? David ben Abraham Franco Mendes decides that the proceeds of the soot should be shared between landlords and tenants. However, in the future, tenants must pay for the cleaning alone. In the introduction, Franco Mendes mentions the severe cold of the winter and the huge amounts of snow, as has not been experienced for 70 years.
