<br /> "Recently I contacted different individuals to sign a petition drawn up by Senator A.

<br />The members of the Immigration and Naturalization Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee are: Sen.Arthur

<br />Butler, Sen. Pat McCarran, Sen. Harley Kilgore, Sen. James O. Eastland, Sen. Estes Kefau~er. This matter is now
<br />very pressing, and I would appreciate it very much if the Council will pass a resolution and furnish me with
<br />copies of letters ~o each member of the above commiTTee for action. This action on the part of the Council will
<br />be deeply appreciated by me.
<br />
<br /> Words can not thank the members of the Council for their help, and kindness to me.
<br />The only thing I can say is that the Almighty shall bless each and every o~e of you for your kindness. Thank you
<br />very much."
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Bilisoty that the City Council go on record requesting the members of the
<br />Immigration and Naturalization Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee to give favorable consideration to
<br />SenaTe Bill 1362, was adopted.
<br />
<br /> were read: 54-53. The following letters from the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co~nany and L.B. Roberts
<br />
<br /> "We should like to ask your aid in helping us to obtain a much needed traffic light
<br /> a~ Firs~ Avenue and High Street. There was a traffic light here at one time but it was eventually moved to
<br /> Second Avenue and High STreet and since then our business has been seriously affected because our customers have
<br /> considerable difficulty in entering and leaving our own parking lot. Not only is this creating a dangerous traf-
<br /> fic hazard at the entrance of our parking lot, but it has created a bottleneck aT First Ave. and as a result man
<br /> of our customers now drive down Secon~ Avenue and do not shop with us any more because of this situation.
<br />
<br /> If we could get a traffic light put back aT Firs~ Ave. and High St., many of our cus-
<br /> tomers would then leave our parking lot from the Queen St. exit instead of attempting to re-enter High S t.
<br />Aside from this we would like to point out the fact that First Ave. is a straight thoroughfare from West Park Vie~
<br />whereas Second Avenue is not and it would seem to us that a light would be mo~e advantageous to the control of
<br />traffic at First Avenue than ~ Second Avenue.
<br />
<br /> The City of Portsmouth has always been most co-operative with us and we do no~ wish to
<br />have anyone feel that we have any complaint in that respect, however, in vzew of our experience with this parti-
<br />cular situation, we do hgpe you will see fit to draw the matter to their attention and if possible have a light
<br />put back ar First Ave. a~d High S t.
<br />
<br /> Your presentation of this problem will be most genuinely appreciated.
<br />
<br /> R L Moore, Sales Manager, A & p. Tea Company."
<br /> '~s representative of the owners of the property at the northwest corner of High St.
<br /> and First Avenue, I am writing to ask abou~ the possibility of having a traffic light installed at that intersec-
<br /> rich. Our tenants, the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company have asked that we make this request as they have
<br /> had complaints from a number of their patrons about the difficulty in entering or crossing High St. from First
<br /> Ave. and the trouble cars have in leaving their parking lot into High S t. To alleviate the trouble as best they
<br /> could, they have made an exit an rear of their lot out to ~ueen Street; however, Queen St. as one-way going east
<br /> so that all cars using this exit hav~ to go To First Ave. and then those wanting to go South and West have to
<br /> gOlem.tO the corner of High and First Ave. They feel and I agree that a traffic light would solve most of the prob-
<br /> The installation of this light will not only benefit the patrons of our tenants but
<br />everyone USing First Avenue. The people of the West Park View area would certainly be helped as it is the direct
<br />outlet from that section· I have seen several accidents and have heard of a number of others a~ this corner and I
<br />feel certain that some of them would not have occurred had a traffic light been there. I would like also To point
<br />out that at one time there was a light on this corner and I would certainly think with the increase in traffic
<br />Kh~$ more lights would be in order rather than eliminating any. I will appreciate your taking this up with the
<br />properauthorities. Thanking you for your consideration.
<br />
<br /> L. B. RoberTs."
