Based on the issuance of your order to open Al-Jumhuriya Street and the deep expropriation of the synagogue, door numbers 116/18
Therefore, we hope you will kindly instruct the competent department in your respected office to mark the section that
will be expropriated so that we can construct the wall before starting the demolition, in order to preserve the structure of
the synagogue, and grant us a permit for that so we can proceed with the construction of the aforementioned wall.

Greetings,
With reference to your letter numbered 20300 dated 18 / 8 / 1962, which was notified to us on 22 / 8 / 62 regarding the fencing of the
open land numbered 61 / 137 in the Al-Tawrat neighborhood.
We would like to explain to your Excellency that the Administrative Committee for Iraqi Jews, based on the decision of your esteemed council No. - 7 -
dated 23 / 7 / 1959, fenced this property; however, it was not possible to maintain this fence due to the vastness of the property,
which exceeds 3000 m2, so it was demolished by passers-by and neighbors. If it is fenced again, it will not be long before the fence is demolished
like its predecessor, especially since the mentioned property is located in an area subject to expropriation. This forced the Administrative Committee to stop
its renovation and construction until the expropriation is completed.
Accordingly, we request your Excellency to order a re-inspection of the mentioned property and to explain to your esteemed council the utility
of fencing or lack thereof.
Please accept our highest respect.
