Re: [Cz-L] Popovici

Bakshish.
  When I was little I believed that bribes originated in Czernowitz.
   Later I found that it comes from the East.
    Baksheesh is a Persian word.
     Well known in the East of Europe.
      To have an official operation performed without bribes
       is contrary to sound reason.
       Were the Popovici permits issue an exemption ?
      No real good old Czernowitzer would go for this...

I suspect most permits were given out based on perceived importance and/or
proximity to the mayor's office; however, I have at least one eye witness
account of a permit being bought on "the black market". Not to upset any
one, but Jews and Rumanians may have worked together on this market to help
those who were not deemed to be important enough. Sorry if tins upsets those
who would like to believe otherwise.
