The special annexation committee OF
Manchester made full and completes
report last night and wound UP the meet
ing by instructing the city Attorney. Mr.. /,
Charles l.. Page. to appear before the
Committee on Counties, Cities and Towing |
of the Legislature. and there guard tho |
interests OF Manchester in tho measure
that will be presented for the consld- I
Grafton of the General Assembly.
Mr. Page was also directed to see that
clause was inserted in the measure
whereby every citizen. who wished to
do so, might vote on the annexation
question on the Southside.
This was a strenuousy fought point
and one that is OF vital interest to the
residents OF the city. Many gentlemen,
over twenty-one years of age, are ineli.
gible to vote IN Manchester under the
present law. and it is to allow all to
have voice In the consolidation uues.
ton that the clause Is to be inserted.
The report of the annexation committee
last night was along the Same lines "a
has been reported in the papers of Rich
mond. The members of the Council really
knew, through the press. what had been
done. but until the special committee
report last evening there had been no
official recognition OF this report. Tho
Council later will take action on tho
matter and will await developments. I'm
til the Legislature passes the general
annexation law there will be nothing
done.
