JOSÉ I] CÂMARA DE LISBOA — Organização, Obras e Regulação do Abastecimento de Materiais . c. 1753–1767. 5 diplomas régios: 2 Alvarás com força de Lei, 2 Alvarás, 1 Alvará de Lei. A collection of five decrees concerning the internal organization of the Lisbon City Council and the regulation of matters related to public works and the supply of construction materials in the city. Following the 1755 earthquake, the reconstruction of Lisbon gave the City Council a crucial role in urban planning, while the Pombaline reforms profoundly altered its composition and mode of operation. The decrees gathered here document lesser-known aspects of this institutional transformation. sd [c. 1753] (D. José I) — Orders the enforcement of the Lieutenant-General of Artillery's Regulations on the sale of gunpowder; prohibits its sale in private homes and mandates the construction of tile-roofed houses in remote locations (Cruz dos Quatro Caminhos, Buenos Aires) for retail sale with a limit of two barrels. sd [c. 1757] (D. José I) — Prohibits the seizure, confiscation, or imposition of penalties on lime, brick, tile, wood, firewood, workers, carts, boats, and pack animals employed in construction or the transport of materials; the same applies to all Royal Works; a measure to protect post-earthquake reconstruction. 2 Jan 1765 (D. José I) — Revokes and abolishes the lifetime tenure of the councilors of the Lisbon City Council, who will now be appointed every three years; orders the formality by which they must be appointed; decree reforming the composition of the City Council. c. Jan 1765 (D. José I) — Orders the President of the Senate of the Lisbon Chamber to have the work outlined in the Plan and Prospectus signed by the Count of Oeiras manufactured in the Ribeira district of Lisbon, to be perpetually used for public sales and belonging to the professions mentioned therein; decree regulating the commercial activity of the Ribeira district. July 9, 1767 (King José I) — Restores to the Senate of the Chamber the land of the extinct Vedoria and the dominion over the lands of Ribeira and the city walls of Lisbon; decree that consolidates the territorial dominion of the Municipality over the riverfront. This collection documents the dual transformation of the Senate Chamber during the reign of Joseph I: the reform of its composition and appointments (from lifetime to triennial terms) and the consolidation of its territorial and urban planning dominance over essential areas of the rebuilt city. It is a source of interest for the urban and institutional history of 18th-century Lisbon. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
