ronan posted:a couple things of note:
Wismar at that time was mostly an unorganized squatting area with a deep reservoir of poor, unemployed people, unlike the situation obtaining in Mackenzie proper
same for Kara Kara which had sprung up in proximity to the mine of the same name
the institutions of governance, Law & Order, the hospital, the bauxite/Alumina operations all resided in Mackenzie, across the river . . . there was no bridge then
to clarify just so Dem_Guy doan jump all over me
Kara Kara is on the 'Mackenzie' side of the river
the Magistrates Court for historical, anomalous reasons then (and today) is located at Christianburg, the oldest settlement (on the 'Wismar' side)
