the town of Mishicott, made the following
report:
The Special Committee to whom was re-
ferred the petition of Joseph Maley and
others, asking for the organization of a
new town out of the present territory of
Michicott, beg leave to report that the pc,
tition does not give the necessary facts to
authorize the Board legally to act upon it,
inasmuch as the law requires one third of
the legal voters at the last annual election
would sign petition, and there is no evil
dence that any of the signatures were legal
voters Of said town of Mchicott at that
time. We therefore recommend that the
said petitioners have leave to withdraw
their petition.
