Upon the butchers’ petition
The petition has been examined, leading to the conclusion that, since it is unlawful to eat those meat and sheep leg, regarded by the Jewish religion as tariz (?), that meat regarded by the Jewish religion as lawful to eat is sold at a higher price so as to distinguish between the meat that is lawful to eat or not. It has thus been understood that Muslims resort to Jewish butchers for slaughtering and that the said official has been appointed for making sure that the sublime verse Allahü Ekber (“God is Great”) is recited during the sheeps slaughter, regarded by Jewish as unlawful to slaughter and eat and sold to Muslims. Since no due action has been taken by the Municipal Council in respect thereof and it is thought that the Sanjak Administrative Council shall due so, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the said council for negotiation. The 2nd of Kânûn Thânî (1)314 (14th of January 1899).

The said matter has been negotiated by our council; it is the case that only one piasters is taken by the Bethlehem municipal council from the Jerusalem carriages running between Jerusalem and Bethlehem. It has been considered that it would be fair and proper to take in Jerusalem one piasters from carriages coming from Bethlehem to Jerusalem and going directly back to Bethlehem; three piasters in Bethlehem; and four piasters from those coming here and passing through Bab al-Halil and running in the roads inside and outside Jerusalem. Since the content of the hereby presented budget has also been examined and found to be in compliance with procedure and order, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council for negotiation.

This letter has been thoroughly examined by our council. There is no decision allowing buildings within the city not to be subject to the provisions of the Public Buildings Regulation. The current buildings within the city are adjacent to each other, being composed of three to four floors; therefore, until this year, the municipal council have not attempted to demolishing current buildings and taking land for the purpose of re-opening a street or expanding the current ones, or aligning them with the direction, which have led, naturally, to the implementation of the aforementioned provisions of the Public Buildings Regulation. The eighth article of the Public Buildings Regulation states that those spaces to be integrated into a road for the purpose of expansion shall be taken during a construction of buildings at both sides of the road and drawing of a boundary. It has been demanded that a part of the said spaces belonging to the Armenian Monastery be submitted for the road; however, these will form an obstacle in front of them, being thus of no use for the road; hence, if it is necessary to grant a license for their construction, a permission must be obtained by the mutasarrifate for an enactment of that copy. The 18th of Kânûn Thânî (1)314 (30th of January 1899).
