Description | In the report, dated 26 June 1898, given by the engineer, it is stated that a church construction has been started outside Bâbü’l-cedîd, on a land owned by a woman named Blanş Bernagrele (?), a subject of the French Republic. The construction work specified in the license given to the said woman for simple building construction has ended. Further construction and starting of a church construction requiring an imperial decree are by no means convenient. Therefore, it is appropriate to notify the Consulate of the French Republic that all construction work be stopped and that an application be made to the Ottoman State in due process for taking the necessary license. The 15th of Huzayrân (1)314 (27th of June 1898). |
