<br /> Attachment- ''The Portsmouth Professional Football Club~ Inc., a member of theDixie

<br />tgrantedfolk C the~ franchise_ rights, to ~oromote professional. . football in the. City of Portsmouth~ and Nor. -
<br /> t~ -~ 9un~y~and mesires to lease the ~un~cipal Stadmum, with concession rights, under the terms of
<br /> ne ui~y ordinance..
<br />
<br /> ~ . ~ ~ -. ~t th~s time, there are no aress~ng room aooommodatlons mn the stadium
<br /> · or ou_ ueam. ~±ue prznts have been drawn and oresented ~o the ~tv
<br /> dressing room needed. The aoproximate cost of this room as per specifications is ~2,500.O0.
<br /> In order for us to play ball in the stadium, it is necessary that we
<br /> have the use of a dressing room. We do not think that we are being unfair in asking you to re-
<br /> quest the City Council to appropriate funds to pay for one-half the cost of building this room
<br /> and we will pay the other~ half.
<br /> To assure the City that we are in good faith in our proposal, we are
<br /> willing; if possible, to lease the stadium for a period of three years under the terms of the
<br /> City ordinance~ This means that the money.spent by the City will at least, be returned to
<br /> them over ~he period of the lease. '
<br /> Due to lack of sufficient seating capacity at all High School games last
<br /> year, we think that additional seats should be erected opposite the concrete stands'to accom
<br /> modate at least five thousand people.
<br /> I would appreciate it very much if you would bring this matter to the
<br /> attention of the City Council at their next meeting, Tuesday, March 12th and let me hear from
<br /> you as soon thereafter as possible. '
<br />
<br /> .Very truly yours,
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Grimes to
<br />$1,250.O0 for said purpose, was adopted.
