Description

A letter and register were presented by our council regarding the stores and shops, which had been gradually constructed at various times by the municipality on the surplus of roads pertaining to the municipality next to the Bab-al-Halil gate and in the midst of Umran, and whose title deeds have somehow not yet been issued, and also regarding the granting of necessary title deeds for other real estates and buildings. The Sanjak Administrative Council thus confirmed the granting of necessary title deeds and the matter was relegated to the Office of Main Register of Revenues for taking necessary actions in respect thereof. Nevertheless, it was demanded by the Office of Main Register of Revenues that the said road surpluses be considered as a state land; a conveyance and transfer tax be taken at a rate of 30/1000 of its value; and a tithe price be determined and paid as of the beginning of the construction of these buildings. Thus, even though the said land is, as specified, a road surplus, and is located in the midst of Umran, which is legally a town, it would not be necessary to consider it as a state land, so it has been found necessary to grant its deeds as a property; hence, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Office of Main Register of Revenues to take due actions in respect thereof. The 13th of Aylûl (1)317 (26th of September 1901).
