A number of school windows at Olive Branch were also broken, We as citizens of the Olive Branch Community, are very concerned over the disregard for personal property. How can we hope to be the model city in the United States when we have a problem of this nature in Portsmouth, Perhaps a stricter enforcement of the curfew would be a steo in the right direction.
