Description | According to the minutes of meeting presented by headmen (mukhtârîn) of Bâb Hitta, and which stipulate the cleaning and repairing of the drains in the mentioned mahalla, and after conducting the necessary inspections with the knowledge of engineer Nasrî Effendi, it appeared that the mentioned drain was damaged and that it is necessary to clean and repair it for a sum of 500 piasters. The sum should be distributed among owners who benefit from the mentioned drain. In order to start money collection and repairs, this decision was taken on the 1st of Aylûl (1)317, with the knowledge of one of us, the respectable Tahir. In order for this to be clarified, this announcement was made on the 1st of Aylûl (1)317 (14th of September 1901). [5 signatures] |
