Taking Them Into wilmington's
Boundaries.
The proposed annexation of what is
known rs the Highland district of
Christians hundred Is meeting with con-
siderable opposition, and last evening the
residents of that locality held q meeting
In Odd Fellows Hall, Highlands.
George Macklen was chairman, and
James w. Smith secretary There were
thirty y.three property owners present and
thirty two of them were opposed to the
annexation.
The grounds on which this opposition
is based are that the people who bought
and built there did so to avoid the city
taxes If they we're taken in they would
have to pay more taxes than they were
able TO and there was no likelihood OF
their receiving any benefit from city
improvements for the next ten years
Another objection Is that the annexation
lines are drawn so as to leave out the
property of rich men Secretary Smith
SAID be had sixty names of freeholders tc
petition against the annexation
A resolution was adopted obi jscting to
