Annexation Again Delayed.

Annexation Is again delayed. for how
long heaven only knows, and all for the
sake OF saving a few outlying factories
from city taxation.
we admit that tho agreement of the
property owners involved, giving to the
city the privilege of using for drainage
purposes hat part OF tho natural sewer
which passes through their premises re-
moves one Of the most serious objections
to the amendment adopted by the Board
of Aldermen last night, but by no means
all objections The lines Is recommended
by the committee and rs adopted by the
Council have been DETECTED and Zig
gagged. for the simple and only purpose
Of excluding few factories which lie
within the territory Of natural eSpan-
sion and development.
1t is tantamount to tax exemption ana
is contrary "a the spirit OF the constA-
tuition. It is class legslatios, pure apd
simple. and cannot be successfully de-
tended.
The annexation act provides that no
property not needed in n plan OF natura!
expansion shall be incorporated for revc-
nue. only; but the act also contcmplatcs
that no property thus located shall be
excluded for the sole purpose Of exempt
ing 1t from taxation to which the city is
fairly entitled. 1t is remarkable, IN
deed, that those gentlemen who have been
fighting greater expansion on the plea
that it would bankrupt the city" have
now SO far receded from that position as
