Description

Concerning the marginal note written on 5 October 1905 by the Sanjak’s Accounting upon the letter, dated 11 September 1905 and numbered 28, sent by the Ministry of Treasury regarding the declaration of value, measures and limits of the Gashouse so as to take counterfoils for its modification on behalf of the Treasury
Two bills requested to indicate the value, measures and limits of the said gashouse have been arranged and hereby presented. As can be gauged from the hereby delivered map, the land purchased previously from the municipal fund to the gashouse administration is very larger than the land necessary for the administration and there is a need for a storehouse. Even though a road was opened in its midst with a measure of 4,000 arşın square, no title deed was given during the parcelling of the said land; so it is up to the mutasarrifate to decide on giving a title deed on behalf of the municipality for this parcelled land which did not require a storehouse during the switch of administration on behalf of the Treasury. The 4th of Kânûn Thânî (1)321 (17th of January 1906).
