To the lonor1ablle lPresident of the Senate, Speaker of the

Hlouse of Replresentactives aand to Each Senator andi
Memlberl of the Hlouse of Replesentatives, State of Flori(la, Tallahassee, Florida :
We, tile undersigned citizens and resicents of that portion of Pinellas County, Florida, proposed to be annexed
to the Town of Largo, having been acdvisedl that it is proposed to introdluce a bill into the Senate and IHIouse of Replesentatives at the present session to grant a charter to the

Towvn of Largo providing in said charter for the extension
of the present town limits of the Town of Largo, to cover
an area of approximaltely eight (8) times the present area
of said town and extencling in one direction approximately
four (4) miles from the present town limits of said Town
of Largo.
WVe desire to call yonr attention to the fact that a, special election was held, pnrsuant to a call issued by the
Tovwn of TLargo, on the 10th day of March, A. D. 1925, to
authorize the said town to extend its corporate limits over
practically the same territory which it is proposed to incorporate in the territorial limits described in the bill
granting the newv charter to said Town of ILargo; at said
election twenty-eight (28) of the voters residing in the
territor- outside of said town limits voted in favor of an-

188
nexation, and twenty-three (23) voted against annexation. At saidl election thirty-three (33) qualified electors
residing in said territory, all of whom would have voted
against the annexation of said territory, were denied the
right to vote in said election.
Under the law of the State of Florida providing for the
extension of territorial limits of town and cities it is necessary to carry the election in the territory affected by a
two-thirds majority. If all of the qualified voters residing
in said district had been permitted to vote tile election
would have carried two-thirds against annexation.
The
town, having failed to carry the election by the necessary
two-thirds vote, are now attempting

to incorporate the ter-

ritory in the town limits by legislative enactment against
the expressed will of the people residing in said territory.
We desire to call y-our attention to the fact that no notice
has been published, as required by law, that application
would he made to the Legislature for the passage of any
bill amendingp or grantilng
a new charter to the Town of
Largo, or for the exiension of the city limits thereof. We,
therefore, pietition your honorable body to refuse to enact
the proposed bill into law.
