Description | The two letters and the relevant documents with attachments have all been examined. The statements put forward in the petition and the local directorate’s letter about this matter made it clear that the land, stated in the Bethlehem Municipal Council’s marginal note, is a road surplus. 161 zirâ part of it has been usurped by Salih Yakub from Bethlehem, and a wall has been started to be constructed around it, is at the disposal of Yakub and that he has a coupon at his hand. Thus, if it is certain in the eye of the local municipality that the said land is a road surplus, it is expected that a file be suited against Yakup and the usurped amount be taken back; a notification be made in reply that, if the said wall has not been finished, the current work be immediately stopped until a decision by the court as regards the matter; and you express your opinion on why this this work was not stopped in due time. The 3rd of Aylûl (1)317 (16th of September 1901). [4 signatures] |
