Part of Registers of Jerusalem Municipality Council during the Ottoman period
The narrowness of the road, which is four arşın in width, leading to the Hazret-i Ukâşe (Radıyallahu Anh) Street at the Jaffa macadam, causes troubles for passersby. In accordance with the first article of the Public Buildings Regulations in effect as regards this matter, it has been considered necessary to expand the width of this road to eight arşın. The third and eighth articles of the Public Buildings Regulation incorporate the provision of taking an equal –half-and-half– size of land from both sides of the road, should the need arise for expansion; determination of the roads to be re-opened and/or the estimated expansion of current roads by the municipal council; and execution of the requirements by the Administrative Council. On one side of the aforementioned road lies the land of Set Şarlota and Hovace David Kokya, and on the other side lies the land of Monsieur Hayim Valirv. In the construction permit granted by our Council, it is stipulated that two arşın must be partitioned from the land of Set Şarlota for new buildings to be constructed. Hence, a map is enclosed herewith, which indicates the need for a partition of two arşın also from the lands of aforesaid David and Valirv. For further action, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council. The 13th of Nîsân (1)308 (25th of April 1892).
