Description | It was stated in the report given by municipal engineers that the wall of the house, located in the Saha (?) neighborhood within the city and owned by the persons named Hacı Ali, Hacı Selim, Emin, Ratıp and Amruz El Ca’uni, is about to collapse and pose a threat. Thus, in accordance with the 48. article of the Public Buildings Regulation in effect as regards this matter, the said persons were warned on 11 March 1902 and 31 March 1902 in order to determine the necessary time period for removing the said inconvenience. This period has terminated and nothing has changed, though. Since the said damage has to be immediately removed, the household in question must be demolished, in accordance with the specified regulation article, after the arrangement of a mandate of a committee composed of the municipal engineer, muhtar of the neighborhood and an official from the municipal police force, with the demolition expense financed through the wreckage. It is appropriate to relegate the matter to the municipal police force to take due action in respect thereof. The 1st of Nîsân (1)318 (14th of April 1902). [5 signatures] |
