Description | Hacı Hüseyin El Topçu Effendi demanded that a license be granted to build some buildings on a land which he claims to belong to an endowment of his ancestors. This land, which has some ancient ruins and a cistern on it, is located at Damascus Gate and adjoint to the city walls. It is doubted that a mosque is present on the property and it is probable that the plot and the cistern are related. Therefore, the requested permit has not been given and it is appropriate to refer this matter to the Board of Education and Accounting Office for Foundations for further investigation. The 28th of Huzayrân (1)313 (10th of July 1895). [5 signatures] |
