<br />,Portsmouth, Va., Ja.~uawy 20,1934.
<br />
<br />Hon. J. Alden Oast,
<br />~ayor and Eembers of Oity Oounci!,
<br />Per tsmouth, Virginia.
<br />
<br />Gentlemen:
<br /> ~ay I call to your attention the manner in which the wood bus,ess is being
<br />handled by the peddlers of our Oity.
<br /> Wood is purchased by them and sold at a price that we can not compete. If con-
<br />sistent, may I ask that you gentlemen take some steps toward eliminating this practice of
<br />peddli~ wood at such a low Dries.
<br /> In Norfolk I Cnderstand the license tax for wood peddlers is $500.00 per annum.
<br />my wood sales have d~opped from $40.00 to $50.00 per day to $$.00 to $9.00 per day, showing
<br />what d~mage they have done to me.
<br /> Any action taken by you, gentlemen, to prevent future occurrences of the above
<br />as outlined will be greatly appreciated.
<br /> Yours very tr~uly,
<br />
<br />Virgil D. Proctor, Inc.
<br /> Vi~gi! D.'Prootor, pres."
<br />
<br /> motion of mr. Fox to refer to the Oity manager and 0ity Attorney, to take such
<br />action as they may deem necessary, was adopted.
