A sum of 3960 kroner a year may be set apart for assistants to

Art. 4. 



The Ministry of Justice shall be authorized to fix, for periods 

 not exceeding five years, the price at which antidiphtheric serum 

 shall be sold by the said Institute. 



Art. 5. 



The Ministry of Justice shall be authorized to fix the date 

 when the said Institute shall begin its work, and to spend a sum 

 not exceeding 15 000 kroner on preparatory work, especially to

 has put the price so low, that there is practically no 

 rupture with the old system.
