Description | In accordance with the request by Mrs. Margaret Alice Brilen Requesting a permit to build a fence to encircle her land located next to al-Shaykh Badr, the inspection was done twice. It has prevailed that the land is surrounded by three roads; the first that leading to 'Ayn Kârim village with six and two third cubits (dhirâ’) wide, the second- the old road leading to Jaffa with eleven cubits wide, and the third- the new road leading to Jaffa with twelve cubits wide. After considering [all this], it has been decided that it is necessary to widen the road of 'Ayn Karim up to fifteen cubits, [therefore] it is necessary that Mrs. Margaret leave four and a half third cubits of her land [on this road direction]. In order to widen the current road of Jaffa up to fifteen cubits too, it is necessary to leave one cubit and a half. Given that the old Jaffa road is assigned for horse riders and transportation of goods, it has been determined to widen it up to twelve cubits, and therefore only half a cubit is to be left of her land. In order to give the permit in accordance with the directions written [above], this decision was taken on the 6th of Mârt (1)315 (18th of March 1899). [5 signatures] |
