<br />ments to the Water ~reatment Plant in Suffolk.

<br />
<br /> This appropriation will provide the necessary funds to purchase material and equipment
<br />to accomplish sidewalk and curb rehabilitation for a period of approximately one year_ With
<br />the CETA program in effect, the City of Portsmouth was able to augment its permanent personnel
<br />such that the citizens could see their sidewalks being repaired and/or replaced in a more
<br />timely fashion than previously existed. The many trees have now uprooted numerous sidewalks
<br />throughout the City and in some areas, due to age, the concrete and bricks have deteriorated
<br />extensively. While the small size of the proposal contained herein does not match thag of
<br />previous years, it is cons-idered most worthwhile from both an aesthetic and a safety gtandpoin'
<br />The City Manager recommends adoption on first reading."
