Description | In the letter given by municipal engineers on 12 June 1901, it was previously declared that the wall of a house, situated the city walls, near the Harem-i Şerif, and owned by Hacı Mahmud Effendi and Şeyh Şahad Abu al Suûd Effendi, is about to collapse on the road-side and that it poses a threat to passerby. Hence, in accordance with the 48. article of the Public Buildings Regulation in effect as regards this matter, they were warned on 12 June 1901 that two days would be given to them for removing the danger. Although this period has terminated, nothing has changed. Since it is absolutely mandatory to recover this loss, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the municipal police force to take necessary action in respect thereof as stated in the article of the relevant regulation by way of demolishing this dangerous household through the mandate of a committee composed of municipal engineers, muhtar of the neighborhood and an official from the municipal police force, and by way of covering the demolition expenses from the wreckage. The 4th of Huzayrân (1)317 (17th of June 1901). [3 signatures] |
