Description

A report given by the first municipal engineer Ibrâhîm Effendi Murâd and dated on the 16th of Shubât (1)320 states that the sidewalk constructed in front of the House of Fânkûn is located on the edge of the water cisterns belonging to the municipality in Shârlût Street. In order to preserve the cistens and access the water in it, it is necessary to displace the sidewalk, (which will cost) 600 piasters dârij al band. Since this is considered urgent, the council has decided to start the work right away under the supervision of one of us Muhammad Yûsuf Effendi Al ‘Alamî and the mentioned engineer, and to pay the mentioned amount for the municipality’s treasury. In order to approve this, this decision was taken on the 17th of Shubât (1)320 (2nd of March 1905).
