<br />fore he left Portsmouth that he would see that his Committee repo~ed out favorable .one or

<br />lng so ~hatyou may file it with the minutes of your nex~ meeting for future reference.

<br />operation your Ci%y Manager and other officials are giving, I am hoping to get a steel plant
<br />for Portsmouth either financed by the Government or by steel in~ereSts.
