Description | For carrying out an inspection for its reconstruction, a visit has been made to the previous locale of the said mosque, which now has no trace whatsoever. It has been revealed that the width of the road at the northern side is 7,5 archine, and that the width of the roads at qibla and western sides is 3 archine and two sülüs. Hence, as regards negotiating whether there is any inconvenience for reconstructing the mosque without expanding it into the said roads, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council. The 15th of Huzayrân (1)314 (27th of June 1898). |
