We the committee appointed to
investigate the petitions and re.
monstrances of the proposed Coun-

report,
We find that the petition contains
643 names and the remonstrance
contains 369 names and we find GO
names which signed both petition
and remonstrance and ask that
their names be withdrawn from the
petition. We find IA signed petit
ton twice, we also find 10 names
which by residence given do not
live in said territory. We find by
the abstract of the vote given by
the County Clerk of the year of
1904 there was polled 1928 votes
and for the year of 1905, 1141
votes. We find on average of the
abstract of the vote of the two
years 1904 and 1905 to be 1884.
and after deducting the names of
those we find not entitled to be
counted on the petition they lack
454 of having a majority.

1t was moved and carried to ac-
cept and adopt the report of the
Committee as read.
G.. H. Holcomb by his Attorney
H. M. Sullivan objected to the re-
port of the committee offered for
the reason that the report of the
committee only purports to show
the number OF persons voting at
two elections and does not purport
to find the total nor actual number
of voters at this time in the pro-
posed territory of Arbor County.
and thu aflidavits of j B. Osborn
and r. E. Broga are insufficient and
incompetent to prove the number
Of legal voters at this time in said
,erritory and there is no evidence
before the committee or the Board
showing that the persons whose
names are signed actually signed
the same to the petition now before
the Board.
Said Holcomb denies the jurisdic-
lion to grant the petition or au tn
orize an election in said proposed
County of Arbor and he demands
that the petition ers show before the
Board the actual number of voters
now in the said proposed County
of Arbor.
