EXTEND CITY BOUNDARY
ONE SECTION WOULD BECOME A
PART OF CITY.
SOUTHWESTERN PART OF TOWN
Approaching the Benefits of Being a
Part Of the City in Which They Live,
First Movement Starts to Extend the
City Limits.

A movement has already been start
ed in one section of Norfolk's unorga-
nized territory to have several blocks
of city property incorporated within
the city limits of Norfolk.
The part of Norfolk where the first
movement has started to make the city
limits conform somewhat to the real
boundaries of actual Norfolk is the
strip of territory beginning about
half block south of Norfolk avenue
and extending south between Thir-
teenth street and Higgins avenue to
either Taylor or Hayes avenue.
The city council was approached
Thursday evening to ascertain what
steps would have to be taken to have
this territory incorporated into Nor
folk. 1t was pointed out that the sec
ton was to all outward appearances
part of Norfolk and that it was bound
ed on three sides by territory that has
been added to Norfolk.
A number of the residents Of the
strip have reached point where they
want to be added to Norfolk legally as
well as physically. The matter is now
in the hands of the city attorney, who
is to map out the proper course to
bring this piece of land into the city.
In other parts of what to all outward
appearances is Norfolk there are sew
eral hundred other people residing,
who are as much residents of Norfolk
as any citizens of the city who
in point of law are neither residents of
the city nor listed in Norfolk's popula.
ton. And many Of these like the res
idents of South Thirteenth street are
beginning to realize the advantages of
being brought within the city limits.

The Republican take this matter UP

The REPUBLICAN, as it was intended,
We find the printer makes it The Re

This Is patriotic work and politics has
nothing to do with it.
We are sure that men and women of
all political parties and religious creeds
will be willing to do their part to help
erect the monument in honor of our
country's defenders and l am sure that
would be the last man to try to make
this important patriotic work the work
Of any political party.
l want to see the monument erected
but l want to see it done by the people
of our county regardless Of politics or
religious creed.
| have thought quite a good deal of
this matter. Many time while work
ing the west when I visited the county
seats of many of the counties and saw
the fine monuments erected in honor Of
the soldierssand sailors who did so much
for our country determined that
would do what l could towards having
q monument erected in Oakland in honor
Of the heroes Of the Civil and Spanish
American wars.
l would like to see this done. l am
not narrow enough to want the Repub-
licans alone to do this work. do not
want any politics in this matter but let
US all do what we can in this patriotic
work
We know that you, Mr.. Epitor, will
do what you can through THE REPuBLI-
CAN to create a sentiment in favor Of
the erection of a fine monument to be
dedicated next Fourth of July.
