<br /> The fgllowing letter from the ~ Hampton Roads Tunnel Co~ission ~as taken up and read:
<br />
<br /> ~- !'In 19~8, when the org~uized meetings on the proposed Hampton Roads Tunnel began an effort
<br />9as made to have the political subdivision governments on Hampton Roads represented therein. Responding to t~e
<br />invitation to the invitation Mayor Fox delegated Gen,.~.T.H. Galliford, Director Public Safety, and F.J.Bergeron,
<br />City Engineer, to represent Portsmouth and we were pleased to have Portsmouth represented. Later, when the forma-
<br />tion of the HamptonA Roads. -Tunnel Commission was official, delegates to this Commission were invited from these
<br />same areas, t that ~tmme, due largely, I believe, to the illness and subsequent death of Mayor Fox, no delegates
<br />from Portsmouth were named. As th& Comm~ssi0n which was organized deferred action to som~ extent, pending the
<br />outcome of the Highway Department's action. No attempt at tha~.time was made to follow up on the Portsmouth
<br /> invitation ~ · .
<br /> In a recent meeting, the Commission was reactivated and has resumed work on this important
<br />project. One of its first actions was to inclmde s~ch representations that have an important interest in our
<br />Tidewater transportation system. · ~
<br /> Therefore, the Hampton Roads Tunnel Commission cordially invites the Portsmouth City Coun-
<br />cil to be officially represmnted on this Commission dedicated to the nurpose of encouraging the construction
<br />of the Hampton Roads Tunnel as an i~p~ant link in our transportation-system.-
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Smith that-the Mayor be authorized to appoint ~omeone to represent the City
<br />of Portsmouth, was adopted.
<br />
<br /> The City Attorney presented the following letter and recom~en~ed that the City accept the
<br />$50.00 in payment of damage to police car:
<br />
<br /> "Sometime ago, I talked to you and Pit. Yass about the matter of ~fhit Farmer, who had an an-
<br />cident with one of the police cars in the ~ity of Portsmouth.
<br /> I would like to get a release signed by the City in order that Farmer, who is a right res-
<br />pectable c61ored man, living ~n '~r{'~o~folk, could retain his driver's permit. It appears that the City does
<br />not ~ontemplate bringing suit in the matter, and I, therefore, would suggest to my client that he p~y the City
<br />$50.00, in order to obtain a release.
<br /> Yours very truly,
<br />
<br /> Hillard & Hillard
