<br />
<br />"I am in receipt of the following letter from the Federal Works
<br />
<br />'Ycur applications for the above referenced oroJects h~ve
<br />been for~,arded to our Central office ~nd re%urned.
<br /> it has been determined that the s cope of the facilities
<br /> requested is in excess of the immediate wae emergency
<br /> demand. Buildings to supply additional recreation needs
<br /> of civilian war workers i n Portsmouth, should be of the
<br /> simplest tyoe along the lines of the emergency recreation
<br /> building nob operated by the U.S.O. for servicemen.
<br /> In case the City of Portsmouth desires to submit revised
<br /> applications for emergency typ_e buildings at the proposed
<br /> locations, such applications will be given consideration.
<br /> Please advise this office of what further action the 0ity
<br /> proposed to take in regard! to these applications.
<br /> Cordially yours,

<br />City olants i~ New Jersey. In each c~se, advance arrangements h~d been mad~ for our surve~
<br />it is-apparent that our engineers plan to construct our plant on a plan comparable ~th th~
<br />Elizabeth and Bahway Valley p!ants whic~ were practically free from odors, and therefore, the
<br />type of plant we must have in Portsmouth.~
<br />
<br />On motion ordered filed.
<br />
<br /> 16th - "At the 0ouncil meeting on May 9th, I reported the possibility of
<br />the City securing three covered hydraulic garbage disposal trucks.
<br /> It is possible to secure these for the downtown area ~nd ~ would
<br />appreciate authority ~nd a special appropriation of $~,500.OO to secure these trucks, which
<br />would prove quite an advancement in our collection system.~
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Fox to place an appropriation of $7,500.00 for said purpose
<br />on its first reading, was adopted. ..
<br />
<br /> lytn -- Mr. Hall ~requested that the 0ity out,base an area adJoinin~ the

<br />Market Bldg., for the duration of the War and six months thereafter, at a rental of $200. OO per
<br />month, with the U,S.O. doing t~he necessary repairs.
<br /> Although the City has received offers in excess of this amount, I
<br />feel that d:~e to the splendid service rendered by the U~S.O. and the fact that our community
<br />will be rendering further assistance to the S~rvice personnel, it is my recommendation that we
<br />accept the U.S.O. offer."
