Description | Upon a letter presented approximately two months ago by His Highness the Patriarch Effendi,with regard to taking a license for the construction of some buildings at the place that is located near the village of Tur and which goes by the name of Galalya (?), belonging to the Greek Patriarchate, a disagreement occurred, during its relegation to the relevant office for taking legal action, between the Waqfs office and the Office of Main Register of Revenues due to the type of the land there. The situation was thereupon relegated to the Sanjak Administrative Council; but no decision and result have yet been taken on this matter. It has been stated in the report given today by the engineers that an unlicensed construction of the said buildings was still initiated and that it is planned to transform it into a church in the future, depending on its prospective form and appearance. Not only the journeymen have been warned to cease the construction, but a decision has also been taken to impose a fine on them; hence, it is appropriate to notify the said patriarch that the construction work must be halted until a license is obtained. The 26th of Huzayrân (1)316 (9th of July 1900). |
