CITY EXTENSION.
A Project to Take New Terri
tory Into the City.
The Extension to be Made in the
West End.
A Description Of the Land to be An
nexed---A Petition to be Presented to
the City Council.

A movement is on foot which will prove
the most important one that has been
attempted in Canton, for many year.
The proposition is to extend the city
limits, that is to take into the city large
amount of farm land and lots on which
the owners have not in the past been
obliged to pay city taxes.
The move is one that will cause a great
deal of talk, and will have its advocates
and opponents by the hundred. There
will be many who will think it would be
of great benefit to the city, as ii will in.
crease the population and put Canton
ahead of several cities, who now have
few hundred more citizens. Those who
oppose IT will be outspoken and advocate
their cause TO the best OF their ability.
In a few days petition will be circulat-
ed asking the City Council to grant the ex-
tension. This, when enough signers are
secured, will be presented to the Council
and If approved by that body will then go
to the county commissioners.
The only territory to be added according
to the proposed scheme is in the west end
OF the city. The present city limits extend
to Harrison avenue which is located
beyond the residence of Mr.. Charles c.
Cook. According to the proposed plan
the new limits will run west on Tuscar-
awas street as far as the point where the
street car line turns Off for Meyers Lake.
1t will then extend north on line paral-
lei with the street railway track to the
north corporation line and south to the p.
Ft. W. & G. railway. This will take in
large amount of territory, and would add
materially to the population of the city.
The petition will set forth the benefits
to be derived from such an extension, in
the way Of increased population and many
advantages to be gained in other ways.
Those who are advocating the extension
are at present not willing to give any fur
ther information.
In matters OF extension the legal pro-
ceedings take a great deal of
time, and if the proposed plan is looked
on with favor by the council, it will be
many months before the new territory is
made a part of the city.
