Description | Even though it is possible to construct the requested stationhouse above Jaffa Gate if deemed convenient by the military, a stairway is necessary to reach it. It has been understood from the above-written explanation by the engineer that there is no space for this, other than the newly opened road, and that it would obstruct traffic if it is constructed here. There is no available and empty space belonging to the municipality or the treasury in Bab al-Halil, lending itself to the construction of the said stationhouse. The 26th of Nîsân (1)316 (9th of May 1900). [4 signatures] |
