Motion of Mr. Johnson and seconded by Mr. Smith, that permits be granted to Portsmout.
<br />Catholic Elementary School and Holy Angels Catholic Church, was adopted by unanimous vote.
<br />
<br /> 73-234 "I am in receipt of the attached letter from the Recreation Commission.
<br />This is recommending the construction of two tot lots -- one at the Junior High School
<br />in Merrifields and the other on City-owned property on Burnham Road. The estimated
<br />cost of these two lots for materials only amounts to $5,757.
<br />
<br /> Since these two proposed lots are generally in the northern section of the Churchland
<br />area, it is my recommendation .that only the one on Burnham Road be constructed at
<br />this time. It is further recommended that the funds to be allocated for this project
<br />be taken from another project allocated in the Capital Improvement Program for 1972-
<br />73."
