<br /> It is proposed that the vote on these bonds be held at the November general election.
<br /> These bonds are to finance the enlargement and rehabilitation of the
<br /> sewage treatment plant and construct additional force mains. The capacity of the plant will be increased
<br /> by fifty percent, at an estimated cost of $508,000.00; the rehabilitation will cost about $491,000.00,
<br /> with the balance for additional force mains.
<br /> The engineering study made by Greeley and Hansen calls for the addition
<br /> and rehabilitation to the plant to begin in 1966, and for the force mains to be constructed in 1970.
<br /> This ordinance has been approved by the Bond Commission."

<br />in the Circuit and Hustings Courtsl
<br /> ' This work was not completed at the end of June, 1965, and the boo~s of
<br />the City were closed at that time; in effect, this is a reappropriation of funds which were authorized
<br />but not expended in the last budget."

<br />without dissenting vote:
<br />
<br /> "AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE $8,600..00 FROM THE GENERAL FUND FOR

<br />
<br /> '65-254 - "I s~bmit the attached agreement between the Portsmouth Parking Authority
<br />and the City of Portsmouth, and recommend that the p~oper City officials be authorized to£sign.
<br /> This agreement allows t e municipal employees to collect the revenues from
<br />the off-street parking lots. The City will also maintain the lots, and the Parking .Authority will
<br />reimburse the City for the costs involved.
<br /> It is believed that this will be a more economical ~]~stem than having the
<br />Parking Authority employ its own personnel."
