Utdrag ur magistratens protokoll
- Excerpt from the minutes of the Magistrates from the 7th
of April 1865, beginning with a letter from the committee
that is investigating the causes of poverty. Their opinion
is that it's all caused by the high consumption of alcohol,
especially vodka. The committee suggests that a new company
is started, that is in charge of serving spirits and that
the profits that the company makes are to go back to the
poor. This is all accepted by the Magistrates. There is
also a list included of the people that have the rights
to serve alcohol at that moment, before the company takes
over, and how many jugs of vodka they serve per year. (NB:
Two Scottish families, the Dicksons and Carnegies, were
instrumental in the committee's report.)
