Description | In this respect, the exploration of the mentioned hotel has been undertaken based on the notice that was send to the governor of the Sanjak by Jerusalem Commandant numbered 44 and referred to the municipal council on 15 June 1311 (27 June 1895). According to the exploration, it has been determined that the surface of the building is 8.25m lower than the castle fire line. Following the rules, an official notice has been sent to Greek Patriarchate at 2am in the morning to halt the building construction. Although a municipality inspector has been sent this morning, it has been observed that a guard from Ottoman soldiers has been sent by the Artillery Sergeant to halt the building construction and deportation of wood necessary for the construction. Thus, further intervention by the municipal council is not necessary. The 17th of Huzayrân (1)313 (29th of June 1895). [No signatures] |
