Resolution for improving the city's finances, December 30, 1718 That after the deaths of Antony Leeuwenhoek and Arnold Ramp, the camerbewaarder of the magistrates chamber from now on will no longer be f 300. |
The mayors were trying to pare their expenses. When they originally continued Leeuwenhoek's stipend, they had no idea that he would live so long!
This decision was based on a prior document dated July 15, 1718.
