City expansion is coming via the
district court
The city council Thursday evening
voted in favor of boundary extension

ed the city attorney to file the neces-
sary annexation petition in the dis
trict court. A vote of six councilmen

by court procedure is the same terri
tory which it was proposed a short
time ago to bring into the city by an
nexation ordinance. The new limits
which will be set forth in the petition
to Judge Welch are the limits decided
on some months ago by committee

territory to be annexed will be listed
as defendant. No court costs, how
ever, will accrue to the property own
ers unless they appear in court to
contest the citys action.
