<br /> The new motor installed in the old engine will give the Department a spare engine to be used
<br /> when other pieces of apparatus are ou~ of contmission for repairs.
<br />Ey opinion, which~is ooncurred in by ~r. J.W. Gran~, Department ~ecb~nic, is
<br />that the Seagrave Corporation's proposal is better for the City and I therefore recommend that
<br />~the con:rac~ be awarded to them under the term~ of their specifications which have been check-
<br />ed ~d approved by Nr. Grant.
<br /> I further recommend that an appropriation'of $13,000.00 be made and that the
<br /> funds be secured from an issue of $13,OOO.00 of serial bonds, in denomination of $1,000.OO
<br /> each, at ~, the firs~ bond to mature in 1937 and one to mature each year thereafter; that the
<br /> issue be offered ~o the Sinking F~ud Commission at par.~
<br />
<br />and by the
<br />
<br /> ~otion of ~r. Hutchins
<br />following vote:
<br />
<br /> Ayes: Brooks~ Fox~
<br /> Nays: None
<br />
<br />to concur in ihs Eanager~s recommendation
<br />H~uvey, Hutchins, Moore, Cast, Stewart.
<br />
<br />was adopted,
<br />
<br /> In connection with the above, on motion of ~r. Fox, the following ordinance
<br />was placed on its first reading:
<br />
<br /> ~{ ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING ~ m
<br /> ~H~ ISSUANCE OF THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS

<br /> ~th - ~The following communication from ~rs. N.C. Williams, Director of the Family
<br />Service Association was received:
<br /> ~The Family Service Association, Inc., 621 Cra~.~ord St., have ex-
<br /> hausted all of their funds as of Dec. 1st. Due~ first to the allot-
<br /> ment from the Consolidated Charities not being paid~ which is never
<br /> sufficient for ot~ demands. Secondly, our case load has been more
<br /> than doubled due to the ~E.RoA. closing. Thirdly, we have had this
<br /> most unusual severe weather which has lasted for several weeks and
<br /> the people were ~uable to pick olnders snd wood to help themselves
<br /> The Family Service~Association is the only organization furnishing
<br /> fuel. For six weeks prior to Christmas, the 8al~ation ~my have had
<br /> no wood to supply our cases. All during winter, they have divided a
<br /> small truck load between six and seven f~milles, no~ more than wheel
<br /> barrow load per family° They hav~ Pons ohe best they could.
<br /> Please inst~ct us if we shall continue to car~z on thi~ work
<br /> ~among Portsmouth, s most needy families, as the Consolidated Chari -
<br /> ties informed us ~oday, 1/10/36, that $113.OO would be our final
<br /> payment and no time set for the Drive~ Nr. Hawks, these deorepid
<br /> people, white and colored, m~ny with children, ages from few months
