The correspondent Giuseppe Lo Presti is asked to find a replacement and it is confirmed that he has received the drawings of the houses and the cost reports for their construction. The provincial architect communicates that the rails in the ancient road indicate that in the past, carts carrying materials to Olympus used to pass under the Porta Aurea.
