Chatted up the Mayor of Vemarken on behalf of the general storekeeper

This quest can be started from the general storekeeper who is southeast of the town square in the Vemarken.

The general storekeeper tells you, 'I'm trying to get the Mayor to lower
taxes a bit, but he's just ignoring me.  Maybe if a customer talked to him,
especially a tourist such as yourself, he might give in.  His house is on the
northeast side of town.'

Go to the mayoral estate (nw 2e 2n) and talk to the mayor.
