<br /> ~th. ~Enclosing preposition of S. S. Penningion~and J. H. Scott to place trash cans on
<br />the streets of the City of Portsmouth. I have taken ~his matter up with the various business
<br />organizations and excepting the Rotary Clu~, it seems to be the opinion that it is not de-
<br />sirable to hmve cans of this character on ~he streets. ~hile I still m~=e te my
<br />that it wo~d be m good thi~ for the City to get these o~ free of cost, I nevertheless re-
<br />co~ize the f~Ot ~h~t it is m m~tter in which business men mrs p~inGipmlly interested mhd
<br />view of the opinion e~ressed by the several clubs, I believe it best not to enter into
<br />contrmot ef this kind mt p~esent.
<br /> I will submi~ with the ann~ budget an es~i~te for supplying ~enty cans
<br />the City's e~nse on which will be placed mdvertising ~tter ~elmtive te the Oity'm ~t~al
