<br />thereof, Article XIX, establishing the Portsmouth Manpower Commission.
<br />
<br /> This o.rdinance will create a Manpower Commission with its members being appointed by
<br />the City Council in lieu of the current Mayor's Advisory Commission which was established by

<br />missions. Since the City has been designated its own prime sponsor for Manpower it is recom-
