<br />recommending adoption of a motion to refund Browning
<br />, $6,468.~0 for 1980,81 and 82 City Business License

<br />Industries of South Atlantic, Inc., 2652 East Indian River Road, Chesapeake, in the amount of

<br />
<br /> The firm erroneously purchased a Business License in the City of Portsmouth, as well as
<br />other localities, for a number of years. It is the opinion of the Attorney General's Office
<br />that they should have been paying on their total gross receipts solely to the City of Chesa-
<br />peake where the business is located.
