Description | The provision of the 40. article of the municipal regulation states that those in debt to municipal councils or those avoiding to pay their debts shall be arrested by the local administration and the receivables be collected in accordance with the mandates to be given by the said councils. It has been understood from the above-written marginal note that they avoid payment despite the provision and despite the fact that they have been advised and warned to pay the fine they have been imposed, which has the same status of debts owed to the municipality. Hence, in accordance with the said regulation article, as regards apprehending them until they pay their fine and making a reduction for the person said to be a repeater, provided that he is really a repeater, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the municipal police force. The 2nd of Aylûl (1)311 (14th of September 1895). [4 signatures] |
