Description | It has been understood from the inspection dated on the 13th of Tishrîn Thânî (1)324, presented by the municipality’s engineer Ibrahîm Effendi and approved by one of us Ibrahîm Effendi, Haj Alî Effendi Nimir and Hamad Effendi al Qutub, that the Khawâja Nasîm al Shîsâr started constructing buildings with a space of 1704 arms length without a regular license. Since the mentioned buildings are located in government lands and on roads, the council has decided to collect double fees. In order to obtain approval, this decision was taken on the 13th of Tishrîn Thânî (1)324. Correction: the space of the mentioned buildings is 1910 and three quarters arms length. In order to collect the fees in this manner, the raise was decided on the 18th of Tishrîn Thânî (1)324 (1st of December 1908). [7 signatures] |
