Description Since the house, located in the vicinity of Bab-al-Magaribe within the city and owned by Abu Al Avdzâde (?) Effendi and Hac Muhammed Taceddin Effendi, is about to collapse, the current danger must be removed in line with the 48. article of the Public Buildings Regulation in effect as regards this matter. Even though a reminder was issued, necessary action were not taken; the dangerous parts of the said house were thus demolished in accordance with the provisions of the article of the specified regulation and 1,731 piasters were spent at the rate of dâric-i bender. Although an attempt was made to sell the current wreckage, no one had any interest in it since the wreckage is not usable; therefore, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the municipal police force for the collection of demolition expenses from the house owners and its payment to our council’s fund. The 14th of Tammûz (1)317 (27th of July 1901).
