<br /> ~ [ ~tl~ #The. League of Vlrgin~i.a. Municipalities-wilt hotel its annual convention in Portsmouth
<br /> on OctOber 21st andt~nd o£this year and it is my opinion thatthey should be appropriately
<br /> entertainedby the Oity. It is desirable that etthe~ a luncheon should be given the~elegates
<br /> of the ~onvention on the ~lst, or a dinner on th~ same date. Probably .c~e hundred and twenty-
