Description | It has been understood that it is not possible to exterminate the said grasshopper germs before Spring and that their locations and bodies would rather emerge in Spring. It is thus necessary that the land of the Deyr-i Divan village and the adjacent land be observed from now on and a report be given to the Ottoman government as soon as possible once the grasshopper germs come into view. It is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Municipal Police Force so as to notify the muhtars of the villages of Eriha (Jericho) and Deyr-i Divan about the matter; and, in accordance with the instruction and tariff specified in the decision taken by the Sanjak Administrative Council, to relegate to the Sanjak Administrative Council so as to appoint an official for the purpose of having them collected free of charge by the neighboring farmers when the said germs come into view. The 2nd of Kânûn Thânî (1)314 (14th of January 1899). [1 signature] |
