Description | A part of the wall, located in the qibla direction of garden of a house, which is situated outside the city on the Telul Al Sabin (?) road and is owned by the Husayn community, is about to collapse. It is stated in the municipal engineer’s report dated 8 February 1911 that the rest of the wall is also in a dangerous situation. Hence, in accordance with the 48. article of the Public Buildings Regulation in effect as regards this matter, a warning has been sent to the leader of the said community in order to demolish the said wall, but as a result of investigation, it has been understood that necessary action has not been taken thus far. Thus, in accordance with the said article of the regulation, the said room must be demolished following a mandate to be drawn up by the municipal engineer Paskal (?) Effendi, mukhtar of the neighborhood, and an official from the municipal police force, with the condition that the demolition expenses be covered from the wreckage cost or collected from the community leader in question. It is appropriate to give an order and relegate the matter to the Gendarmerie Commandership for taking due action in respect thereof. The 27th of Kânûn Thânî (1)326 (9th of February 1911). |
