ANNEXATION NE WS.

The petition that Summerville be
annexed to ST. Johnsbury village was
handed to the trustees last week and
referred by them on Monday night
to one of the side judges. The law
provides that the court shall appoint
a commission to fix the boundary of
the village to be annexed. Then a
meeting of the Summerville voters
will be called and the question: sub
mitted to them. Al this meeting it
will take not only a majority of vot-
ers to carry the question but a ma
jOrity of the grand list of Summer
vile. If the vote for annexation is
carried the trustees will call special
village meeting to have the voters
decide whether or not Summerville
shall be admitted to the village of ST.
.Johnsbury. The trustees in their
action on Monday night simply
wished to bring the matter before the
public as the law provides and let the
people decide it for themselves. As
has been before stated there is oppo-
sitiOn to the scheme both in Sum-
merville and in St. Johnsbury vii
