Description

Upon the letter given on 20 June 1900 by the Office of the Chief Tax Collector of Jerusalem
Upon the petitions given by those applying to the Ottoman State for tasks of construction and reparation, necessary licenses are given after necessary actions are taken by the tax office and its related department. In addition, if the municipality is informed that an unlicensed building is constructed in order to procure state properties and municipal taxes, no hesitation is shown for taking legal action against its owner. Nevertheless, following the real estate examination made last year, a request was made via a letter and relegated to the Tax Directory for drawing up a register showing the scope of construction and the names of owners if any building is constructed without obtaining a license from and giving notification to the municipality, in order to come to a conclusion through a comparison of given licenses and to take legal action against their owners. However, it has not been given yet; besides, a register will also be drawn up after this year’s construction examination; hence, the matter of relegating the matter to the Tax Directory for the immediate delivery of the copy of the said register has been left to your sublime decree. Necessary warnings have been issued to municipal officials to double their attention for not allowing any unlicensed construction. The 8th of Huzayrân (1)316 (21st of June 1900).
