Description | In spite of warnings, many people urinate in the alleys and in the streets and cast garbage and dirty water from their houses and stores into the street. This is detrimental to the quality of the air and to public health and causes aversion to passers-by and transients. Therefore the necessary orders have been given to police officers, municipal guards and members of the gendarmerie to either arrest or to give the necessary information to the municipal council and the police about everyone who dares to urinate in the alleys and streets, or throw his garbage into the street, so that he be punished according to the law. Accordingly all the people and inhabitants should stop these ugly manners and throw the garbage of their homes or stores in the containers for this purpose in front of their homes. It is collected by the cleaning contractors who make daily rounds at the necessary times for this purpose. So whoever violates (these rules) makes himself punishable by law. In order for this to be known, these directions were published on the 1st of Aylûl (1)320 (14th of September 1904). [8 signatures] |
