It is a \"Minute\" of an occupation decree for State public property, dated 1939, as indicated by the mention visible in the upper left corner. The document is printed on letterhead paper, with administrative typography characteristic of the 1930s, typical of French archives from that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper part of the document contains several administrative mentions: \"PONTS ET CHAUSSÉES\", \"DÉPARTEMENT DES BOUCHES-DU-RHÔNE\", \"SERVICE MARITIME\", \"Arrêté d'Occupation\" (Occupation Decree), \"ANNÉE 1939\" (Year 1939). The stamp \"15e SUBDIVISION MINUTE\" is also affixed, indicating that it is an official version kept in the archives of the relevant subdivision. The main text begins with the word \"ARRÊTÉ\" (DECREE), followed by the identity of the chief engineer of the maritime department and references to the laws in force at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe decree details, in precise administrative language, the conditions for the use and occupation of maritime public property, particularly concerning floating installations and specific authorizations. Several passages are typewritten, while the lower part includes a framed section, likely added to specify or complete the conditions (typewritten text, slightly faded in places but legible).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire document shows a period patina: the paper exhibits a slight, uniform yellowing, typical of administrative papers from the 1930s-40s. The edges are generally clean, with the upper left corner slightly dog-eared. The print remains clear and legible over the entire page, with black or dark grey ink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of decree serves as direct evidence of administrative operations and maritime regulations in the port of Marseille on the eve of World War II. It is particularly of interest to enthusiasts of local history, administrative heritage, or research on the management of public maritime property in France in the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed document, sold as is.
