Description | Upon the letter, dated 16 May 1900 and numbered 9, by the Wagfs’ Accounting regarding the removal of sewages constructed over the water channel flowing from the Magaribi neighborhood and the place named Cevretü’l-gâbî The sewage located in the said Magaribi neighborhood has been inspected, leading us to the conclusion that they are not the sewages of Jewish households, but part of the general sewage. It has thus been removed from over the said water channel, reparation expenditures to be financed by the municipal fund estimated and necessary work initiated. The owners of the Jewish company outside the city have been warned so as to demolish the current sewage adjacent to the water channel, and to change its course. The 17th of Mayîs (1)316 (30th of May 1900). [4 signatures] |
