Description | Upon the petition given on 5 July 1900 by Halil Hüseyin Müslim from the village of Silvan An inspection has been made on the said land, leading to the conclusion that the partition claimed to have been manufactured around it by the person named Kont (?), who is a French subject, is not a masonry construction, but that a few posts were erected and that they were cut in part by a fine wire. Nonetheless, since the manufacture of the said partition has ended, with nothing left that would halt the construction work, there is not any aspect of this matter that would be of a concern to the municipality. Hence, as regards explaining that the petitioner must apply to the court if he has a lawsuit on this issue, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Municipal Police Force. The 26th of Huzayrân (1)316 (9th of July 1900). |
