— THE FIRST STRAWBERRY BILL —
Proposed and Issued to the Garmont Assembly in 199 ARP

 

 

---

 

INTRODUCTION

The amount of available mercantile property within Riviènse is already dire, despite only recently arriving upon the continent. This must be addressed properly by the River Council, and the Garmont Assembly intends to advise them to do so.

 

AIM OF BILL

To advise the River Council, namely the Treasury, to immediately begin the process of constructing more stalls for use by private companies and merchants.

 

BODY

The Garmont Assembly acknowledges the impressive speed at which merchant stalls and stores within Riviènse have been sold, and commends the Treasury for their considerable efforts in doing so. The Garmont Assembly, however, does express concern that this could result in a lack of available property for prospecting merchants and companies wishing to expand their business into the Commonwealth.

 

The Garmont Assembly stresses the need for the potential market within the Commonwealth to be able to expand, and strongly urges the River Council to start the necessary progress to begin expansion of the Commonwealth’s available merchant properties.

 

The Garmont Assembly suggests that such expansion could happen through the construction of market stalls outside the city proper, potentially on the roads leading immediately into the city, or through the construction of market stalls upon the city square.

 

The Garmont Assembly calls upon the River Council to establish and clarify on rules pertaining to the renovation of the bottom floor of housing into a storefront. 

 

The Garmont Assembly affirms its faith in the capability of the Treasury to perform this task.

[JudgeTrudy 610]

From the shared family home in Riviense, one Lukas von Theonus smiles at the news of these passed pieces of legislation. "It has been too long since I heard of such productivity from the Garmont!" he says to a servant. "And what fine work they've done, indeed. More room for the local tradesmen will be a particularly nice sight to see around town. Especially if they manage to get some up in Chambery!"
