About 90 documents from the estate of the Lawyer Arnold Spaer from Jerusalem, whose car was enlisted for use by the army during the Independence War. Jerusalem, May through October 1948.
Collection of documents concerning a black Renault vehicle model 1946, which belonged to Arnold Spaer, the legal advisor to the military governor of Jerusalem and deputy military prosecutor. The car was enlisted to be used for national needs during the siege on Jerusalem in the Independence War.

The documents include: record of all the official trips with this car, insurance policies, receipts for maintenance in garages (in August 1948 the car was involved in a serious accident), special and one-time laissez-passer certificates, documents from the office of the military governor, receipts and documents of the "Petrol committee", Mishmar Ha'am, form of the "Provisional Government" - requesting an allowance of petrol for the car (September 1948), and other items.
The documents are contained in the original folder, from the lawyers' office "Bernard Yossef and Co." (Dr. Dov Bernard Yosef, who later served as "Austerity Minister", served as military governor of Jerusalem during the Independence War, and apparently his office dealt with the enlisted car of Dr. Spaer).
Total of about 90 documents. Size and condition vary. Overall good condition. Tears to folder.
