Description | Upon the Waqfs Directorate’s marginal note dated 15 August 1898, regarding the leveling of soil accumulated in Bâbü’z-zâhire. The road adjacent to the said land was improved eight years ago, and nothing has remained from its wreckage. The accumulated soil and wreckage have been produced by unidentified folk. And the underlying reason is the fact that the said land has been left without being cultivated and has not been encircled with a wall. As regards rapidly leveling the said soil and building a wall through the said land, it is appropriate to re-issue an order and relegate the matter to the Waqfs’ Accounting. The 5th of Agustos (1)314 (17th of August 1898). |
