Description | Upon the Commandership Office’s marginal note regarding the covering of the reparation of the station house located around Bab-al-cedid via the municipal fund The said station house has been inspected and the attached inspection report given by the municipal engineer has revealed that its reparation and improvement require 494,3 piasters at the rate of dâric-i bender. As ordered in the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ letter numbered 15 and dated 8 June 1889 regarding the opening of this station house around Bab-al-cedid, it was constructed by the adjacent real estate owners and so it does not belong to the municipality; thus, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Commandership Office to take due action in respect thereof. The 11th of Tishrîn Thânî (1)324 (24th of November 1908). |
