Description | It has been notified a few times to the relevant consulates, to the Greek Patriarchate and to the Chief Rabbinate that a register must be delivered at the end of every month to indicate the amount of deaths occurring in the hospitals within and outside the kaza. Although the matter was notified again by the mutasarrifate via a letter dated 20 January 1900, no register has been yet delivered apart from the hospitals belonging to the French and Russian consulates. In the letter given by the municipal doctor, it has been stated that the delay in drawing up the said register also causes a delay in drawing up the statistics requested by the Ministry of Internal Affairs about death cases. Hence, as regards the outright delivery of two registers from March of 1316 (1900) up to now and the regular delivery of a register at the end of every month, it is appropriate to notify the above-mentioned consulates, the Patriarchate and the Chief Rabbinate. The 9th of Mayîs (1)316 (22nd of May 1900). [5 signatures] |
