Description | Upon the Russian Consulate’s letter dated 31 Teşrin-i evvel (November) 1908 regarding the fact that there is no necessity for a license as the wall built by the Russian subjects Nata Nail Davidof and Yuhanan Sihalf (?) around their land is not masonry, but made up of dry stone Although the said wall is going to be composed of dry stone, there is a road across it; hence, a license is necessary for determining the width of the road and the construction work is called to a halt until a license is obtained. It is thus appropriate to notify in reply that there is no need to take an action in accordance with the 53. article of the Public Buildings Regulation. The 4th of Tishrîn Thânî (1)324 (17th of November 1908). |
