At meeting of the apnexation committee of
the shore villages of Cape Elizabeth, held Sat-
urday evening, Dec Goth, 1873, the following
preamble and resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, town meeting of the citizens of
Cape Elizabeth has been called for Tuesday
evening next, and
Whereas, upwards of four hundred citizens
of Cape Elizabeth have already signed petit
ton in favor of annexation to the city of Port
land, and said petition being still in circulation
we deem it unjust that any attempt should be
made oppose said annexation with town funds
or instructing town officers or representatives,
and that we deem any such use of town funds
as illegal. 1t is impossible to get any fair opin-
ion of the citizens of Cape Elizabeth upon that
point in town meeting for that purpose at this
Indictment seasan of the year: therefore,
.Resolved, That we deem it inexpedent to at
tenl town meeting next Tuesday, as large
proportion of the legal voters, residents of the
shore villages, are necessarily detained by their
usual occupations
RESOLVED, That the Secretary be instructed te
cause copies of these resolutions to be inserted
in the Portland daily papers.
