Description | It is stated in the report, dated 5 February 1911, given by thee municipal engineer that a room, which is located in the northern side of the Beyt Yakub Company outside the city and is owned by the Rabbi Lebib (?) Effendi, is about to collapse and thus must be demolished. Hence, in accordance with the 48. article of the Public Buildings Regulation in effect as regards this matter, two warnings have been sent to the aforementioned persons in order to demolish the said wall, but necessary action has not been taken thus far. Hence, in accordance with the said article of the regulation, the said room must be demolished following a mandate to be drawn up by the municipal engineer Nasri (?) Effendi, mukhtar of the neighborhood, and an official from the municipal police force, with the condition that the demolition expenses be covered from the wreckage cost or collected from the persons in question. It is appropriate to give an order and relegate the matter to the Gendarmerie Commandership for taking due action in respect thereof. The 23rd of Kânûn Thânî (1)326 (5th of February 1911). |
