<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Lawrence to receive said report and that the Auditor be in -
<br />structed to charge to the 0ity Collector the amount of tax extended, was adopted.
<br />
<br />The following letter was read:
<br />
<br /> "On the 13tfr~ day of September, 1938, the Oity 0ouncil of the City of Ports-
<br />mouth, at its regular session, adopted a resolution, introduced by Councilman James N. How-
<br />ard, declaring a need for a Mousing Authority in the Oity of Portsmouth, and in substance
<br />directed the Mayor to appoint a Housing Authority ~r t~he Oity-of PortsmoUth. The motion was
<br />unanimously adopted, and ~he Mayor thereafter named the Housing Authority, and on the !4th
<br />day of September, 1938, certificate of said appointment was issued by the Mayor and attested
<br />by the City Clerk.
<br /> The members of the Housing Authority, appointed by the Rayor and approved by
<br />the Council, held its first official meeting on October ?th, 1939. Mr. T.A. Willett having
<br />been appointed Chairman by the Mayor, it was only necessary to elect a Secretary and Vice
<br />Chs~rman, and to draw up the articles and by-laws for the guidance of the Authority.
<br /> The Authority then beg~u to set up its organization, and to certify to Wash-
<br />ington the appointmeht of such an Authority, of certificates~ resolutions, etc., so that the
<br />local Authority was given offi¢iat status in WaWnington, and .could negotiate with the U.S.
<br />Housing Authority.
<br /> The local Authority discovered that the applications for f.unds were being
<br />rapidly asked for by a number of cities throughout the United States, and that the original
<br />appropriation for administration under the U.S. Mousing Authority amounted to 6800,000,000.
<br />The loos~ Authority made apo!ication for the sum of $1,5OO,OOO. to b6 earmarked and set aside
<br />for the City of Portsmouth ~n~il such a time-forms~ application might be made for same. This
<br />was done in order to keep the U.S. Authority from allocating the funds before the local Au -
<br />thority could begin to function.
<br /> The next s~ep taken by the local Authority was sever8l conferences with
