cry, acquired by extension OF the city
limits, ''if the Chairman of the Select
Committee on redistricting the city Will
arise at the next meeting OF the Coun-
ell and ask for further time for his
to prepare d report.
I'VE people who live in the annexed
territory have watched the proceedings
of the Council with interest for nearly
six months to ascertain what steps
were being taken to give us represent
alton and at nearly every meeting our
ing that time the Chairman of the Re
districting Committee has reported pro-
gress and requested more time which
was granted by the Aldermen without a
murmur.
Now 1T seems to me--and I may say
many others approve my view--that IL
the Council intends to deny the tax
payers of the annexed district all voice
in tine improvements for which the city
is already spending our money, in all
honesty and fairness the Council should
say so. That committee has had ample
time to prepare a redistricting plan
and nearly every citizen affected ably
their delay believes that the matter
has been delayed purposely.
II am not a candidate for Alderman

that a large section OF the city is now
