Due to the large quantity ot the sum, no master has come up to offer a guarantee for this, and as the Engineer Paskal Effendi has also explained that there is no interest in the reduction, it is necessary that the said reparation be carried out on governmental account; though, it is appropriate to take due action in respect thereof. The 5th of Mayîs (1)325 (18th of May 1909). |
