<br />
<br />The following letter from Mrs. Jean. Backus was read:
<br />
<br /> "~h~ni~he~pam~renmem~ga&n~I~sB ~o add my wish MST to Fmve the proposed service station at Portsmouth
<br />Blvd. and Elmhurst Lane. For the many multitude of reasons you will hear from the people tonight, and I re-
<br />gret I cannot be in the c~owd, I will say "ditto" to all of them.
<br />
<br /> I would like to express my confidence in you as councilmen, frankly I ~oped for most of your elections,
<br />and voted for the ones of you that was possible. I would also like to say many words for the City Planners
<br />wl'th their thankless jobs, and am very appreciative of all the consideration you have given our part of the
<br />city.
<br />
<br /> I can see why no one would want to put money in the Geographical Orphan of the City of Portsmouth, its
<br />being placed between two Government facilities is bad enough, hut left. most p~r~ the city is moving out to-
<br />ward Suffolk and points west. I don't blame them for moving, hut I wish they wouldn't. This takes away all
<br />the pleasure of going to town, as we did in the old days to shop or just to '~ee the sights'*. Everyone has
<br />a shopping center or service station or laundramat in their own backyard.
<br />
<br /> I have always loved to shop downtown Portsmouth, Leggetts, The Famous, Sears, Betty and Bob all are so
<br />nice, and its such a nice drive to get here over the overpass. However, I feel that we are being deprived of
<br />all ~f this whenever we have all the conveniences of the c~ty in our ~n back yar~s.
<br />
<br /> I won't go into all the details of why I don't want to have this station, but I don't. We DONOT need
<br />it. So PLEASE once again go along with the Planning Commission."
<br />
<br />On motion of Mr. Holley the following resolution was adopted, ~d by the following vote:
