Description | In the petition regarding the narrowness and impasse of the said road, presented and relegated to the municipality on 28 September 1892 and undersigned by Halil Effendi, Bedir Effendi and Şevket Effendi, the original and deputy inheritors of the owners of the adjacent land, the deceased Halidizâde İsa Effendi and the deceased Bedir Effendi, and also by Cirbis Ket Effendi (?) and Yakup Valberu Effendi, the said road was demanded to be expanded in line with its direction in due manner. Thereupon, due action was taken by sending a written notice to relevant persons in accordance with the provisions of the regulation article regarding the drawing up of a necessary map and specifying the amount of land to be ceded by them for the expansion of the road. A marginal note was presented by our municipal council on 2 January 1893 to be later examined and ratified by the Sanjak Administrative Council. Meanwhile, in the decision taken and notified to our council by the Sanjak Administrative Council on 29 March 1902, opening and expansion of the said road received approval on the ground that it would bring benefits. The said road has thus been opened and expanded. The 2nd of Nîsân (1)318 (15th of April 1902). [4 signatures] |
