Description

Upon the petition presented on 4 May 1904 by some of the residents of the Mehâne Yuda Company
Due to the fact that there is no place to drain dirty water in the company named Mehâne Yuda, which is located outside the city, dirty water accumulating in houses not only emits malodour by spilling on the ground and the road, but also damages public health. Company deputies thus demanded a construction of waterbeds and sewer to relevant locations, whose cost would be taken from the company owners. The said place has thereupon been inspected and in accordance with the hereby presented inspection register, it has been understood that there is a need for 9,757 piasters at the rate of dâric-i bender for the construction of the said place. This amount has been apportioned to the landowners by the leading figures of the company and the municipal engineers, and a copy of the register has been hereby presented. For notifying the foreign subject among these persons that the share falling to them must be paid, it is necessary to send a command to their consulates together with the attachment of their bills. And it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the office of the Police Chief Inspector so as to collect the shares falling to Ottoman subjects and submit these shares to the municipal fund. The 17th of Mayîs (1)320 (30th of May 1904).
