:

We,

citizens

and resicents

of

of

proposed

to

be

having

that

it

is

pro-

introdluce

a

and

of

at

to

grant

a

to

the

providing

in

the

extension

of

the

of

the

to

cover

an

area

of

approximaltely

eight

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,

spe-

cial

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

in-

corporate

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

annexa-

tion.

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

nec-

essary

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

thereof.

We,

therefore,

pietition

your

honorable

to

refuse

to
