The final cleansing, after more than sixty-five years, of the immediate surroundings of the holiest Spot in the Baha'i world.

Steps have also been taken to register the title-deeds of a centrally located plot, originally owned by a Covenant-breaker, and abutting on the International Archives, in the name of the Israel Branch of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of the British Isles. A further blow has been struck at the remnants of the implacable enemies of 'Abdu'l-Baha, the breakers of His Father's Covenant, still living in the immediate vicinity of the holiest shrine of the Baha'i world, through the destruction of a row of ruinous sheds which had been under their control, through orders issued by the Municipal Authorities of Akka. And, lastly, an expropriation order has been published in the Israel Official Gazette by the Treasury Department of Israel related to buildings enclosed within the Haram-i-Aqdas, aiming at the eviction of these same enemies from the outer Sanctuary of Baha'u'llah's Sepulcher, following upon the evacuation by them of the Mansion at Bahji after two score years of occupancy, and which, when carried out, will mark the final cleansing, after more than sixty-five years, of the immediate surroundings of the holiest Spot in the Baha'i world.
