The paper has a slightly yellowed cream tint, typical of early 20th-century official documents. The header bears the inscription \"République Française\" and \"Arrêté\", with clear and neat administrative typography. The black, typewritten text is easily legible, except for a few handwritten annotations in black ink in the upper right corner. The department, the date \"11 August 1935\", and the name of the beneficiary, Mr. Belmonde Étienne, residing in Marseille, L'Estaque district, are clearly distinguishable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo grey-blue fiscal stamps are affixed in the upper left part, canceled by a legible round stamp \"Ponts \u0026amp; Chaussées Bouches-du-Rhône 26 NOV 1935\". The document also features several visible handwritten notes and signatures, adding to its authenticity and historical interest. The printing and layout are typical of orders from this period, with wide margins and a neat presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main text details an authorization to occupy public land, specifying the conditions and dimensions of the allocated space.
