Description | Since the width of the road built by the respectable Muhyî Eddîn Effendi al-Khâlidî through his land located outside of Damascus Gate is no more than four adhru’; the land bought by Murâd Ibrâhîm Zawânah Al-Rûmî from the aforementioned Effendi is adjacent to the [above] mentioned road; and construction works have been raised in the land [near] the road. [For all these reasons], it has been decided on the council level to widen the mentioned road up to six adhru’. Thus, one cubit has to be taken away from the land of the mentioned [above] ‘Ibrâhîm Zawânah, in addition to another cubit from the land adjacent to it, so that the mentioned road will be six adhru’ wide. Therefore, this decision was taken on the 3rd of Mâyis (1)315 (14th of May 1899). [2 signatures] |
