<br />Boat Act and the problem of sewage disposal from boats, I wish to inform you, the members of Portsmouth's City
<br />Council, that there will be a public hearing on this subjec~ a~ 10:00 A.M., oX Thursday, May~ 14th, 1959, a~ the
<br />Nansemond Hotel, No~folk, Va.
<br /> I feel that we in Portsmouth are vitally interested in the matter because of our
<br />close proximity to the rivers and harbors of Tidewater, Virginia.
<br /> Unless~%he-State of Virginia adopts legislation by 1960 the Federal Government
<br />will assume responsibility for enforcing i~s own boat laws.
<br /> It is my hope that the City of Portsmouth will have representation at the only
<br />public hearing to be held in this area so that our views might be expressed on this impor~an~ manter~"
