<br />Gilbert, of the Fire Prevention Bureau, Mr. Trant, the Building Inspector, Mr. Jones, the
<br />Electrical Inspector, and Mr. Allen, the Pltmbing Inspector.
<br /> Although we have been open f~r only a ~hert time, we have fotmd that the young people
<br />of Pbrt§mo~th are quite enthusiastic about having a place designed especially for them. In
<br />addition, countless parents and interested citizens have been out to inspect our facility. They
<br />have been unanimous in thief approval of the club.
<br /> We would very much like for the members of the City Council, the City Manager, and all
<br />other interested City officials to be our guests on one of the nights we are open. At present
<br />we are having dances on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Any night that you would like
<br />to attend would be agreeable with us.
<br /> In the event you cannot attend as a group, we would still like for you as individuals to
<br />come by whenever you have the opportunity. Ne are certain that you will be pleased with what
<br />you see, and feel proud, as we do, that Portsmouth now has a teenage dance club which has
<br />been acclaimed by many knowledgable people, as being the finest that they have seen anywhere.
