Description | As declared in the document sent by the Ministry of Main Registers of Revenues dated 16 November 1892 and numbered 26, the matter was communicated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in order to issue an imperial rescript for the necessary treatment of the buildings in question by the Office of the Registry of Landed Property, and 700 piasters, which belong to the Directorate of Imperial Title Deed Registers, were collected from the building owners and sent afterwards to the treasury of the Office of the Registry of Landed Property. The amount in question was collected from the building owners and was sent to the said ministry with the correspondences dated 16 March 1892 and numbered 14. However, as no reply has been received up until now, it is necessary, if approved by the sublime Mutasarrifate, to ask for permission to inquire about the issue to the said ministry, provided that the fee be collected from the petitioners. The 8th of Kanûn 'Awwal (1)310 (20th of December 1894). [1 signature] |
