<br />
<br />let ~At the meeting of the City Council, held on June lOth, the question of
<br />charging for parking on Hi~n St., on national legal h61idays, was referred to the City Manager.
<br /> Inasmuch as the parking meters were ifistalled to facilitate the trans-
<br />action of business in the business district, ~ud due to the fa6t that business is suspended on
<br />national legal holidays, I ?eapectfully recommend that the parking meter ordinance~be amended
<br />to eliminate charges on Sundays and national legs~ holidays.
<br /> I further recommend that the b~lidays be specified by ns~me in the
<br />posed amendment.~
<br />
<br />Motion of Mr. Fox to concur in the Manager s recommendation, was adooted.
<br />
<br /> 2nd - ,,I respectfully recommend ~hat an appropriation of ~200o00 be made to
<br />cover the City's portion of a WoP.A. project to operate a Homes Registration office for Defense
<br />Workers and others°~ The. Federal Government will contribute $788°OO to this project.
<br /> Zn my opinion, this is one of~the most imoortant proJeots~ in connectio~
<br />with the housing problem, that has been initiated in Portsmouth, in recent years. This Homes
<br />Registration office will fill a long-felt need, and will also collect important data concerning
<br />the ~mount of ho~ing needed in Portsmouth and vicinity°
<br /> I am indebted to the Portsmouth C~mber of Commerce for providing quar-
<br />ters for the personnel engaged in this project, and for the offer of their services in helping
<br />to get this work ~der way, as quickly as possible."

<br />ate $200.OO for said purpose, was adopted, and by the following vo~e:
