has been generally signed by the citizens
of the town and we regret that lack o.
space prevents us from giving them:
WHEREAS, On account of danger from
fire and in order to promote the health and
future prosperity of the town of Elkton
it is highly desirable that it's charter

given to the town authorities power tc
introduce water into the town by such
means as may appear to be most desira-
BILE, and to make such other changes in
the charter as the present and future
growth of the town demand.
We, the undersigned citizens of the
town, do hereby unite in calling meet
ing of it's citizens to be held at the office
of the Cecil County Agricultural Society
on Tuesday evening, January 21st, at s
O. clock to take action toward accomplish
ing the above named objects, provided
that in any amendment of the charter
there shall be no abridgement of the
right of suffrage other than prevails I'M
der the existing charter.
