Description | Upon the report given on 21 July 1904 by the inspector effendi regarding the control of whether the five batman, five nügi, two sülüs of oil purchased by İlyas İsa from Gattar Al Zahravi is mixed or not. A regulation has later been published for the purpose of ensuring the purity of plain oil produced domestically. In the fourth article of this regulation, it is stated that the oil of tradesmen and merchants doing a retail business by selling mixed oil shall be confiscated and that a fine of 1 five-piaster piece to 5 five piaster pieces shall be taken from them; in the sixth article of the said regulation, it is stated that these penalties shall be collected upon the decision to be taken by administrative councils; and in the seventh article of the said regulation, it is stated that these penalties and the money to be taken from the sale of confiscated oil, which will be colored in such a way as to be rendered inedible and unusable in industry shall likewise be registered as incomes for municipal offices. Therefore, as five batman, five nügi, two sülüs of one tin of plain oil said in this report to be sold by Gattar Al Zahravi (?) to İlyas İsa is suspected to be mixed, it was submitted to the inspector and examined by the municipal doctor at the request of the customer. It has been stated in the above-written marginal note by the municipal doctor that the analysis has revealed that this oil is mixed with suet. The said tin of plain oil has thus been confiscated; and for the decision about the penalty to be collected from the said seller named Gattar, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council. The 12th of Tammûz (1)320 (25th of July 1904) |
