The Ball Started

The annexation of ST. Johns tc
Portland is not to the liking of J B.
Holbrook and a number of Other
prominent citizens of the suburban
town. Today they filed in the
Circuit Court petition asking for
an injunction restraining Mayor ST.
mon and the Portland council from
taking the final steps in the process
of friendly assimilation. They al.
so ask that the mayor and recorder
of St. Johns be restrained from turn.

Mayor Joseph Simon, Auditor a.

ID other Portland councilmen, and
Mayor K. G. Couch and Recorder
Il. A. Rice of St. Johns.
Irregularities in the election for
annexation held in ST. Johns in No
vember last are made the basis for
the demand for the restraining or
der. The first complaint is that of
the 662 electors who voted on the
annexation proposition, a large
number did not live within the
city limits and should have had no
voice in the matter. The total vote
was goa in favor of annexation and
and 800 opposed. However, il is
asserted that precinct 1853, where
f45 affirmative votes were recorded
to 7s opposed, composes a territory
that Is two thirds outside the town.
The claim is made that If the vot.
ing had been confined in this dis.
trict to the townspeople, the result
would have been different. In the
other two precincts the vote stood
precinct $50, yes 90, no 50; precinct
T57, yes IfS, no t33.
There is also the complaint that
the city of Portland was unduly
active in the matter of annexation
and several alleged irregulari-
ties are pointed out i'm the proceed.
ings.
The petitioners also point to the
fact that the bonded Indebtedness
OF ST. Johns is 500, 600, or I635
per cent of the assessed valuation

debt of Portland is S9,7I6, 500 or

alton OF s274 594, 72o. The taxes
assessed for city purposes in Port
land are about six mills, while in
St. Johns they average FIVE mills.
The petitioners claim there will be
no adequate return to the property
owners for the additional tax after
annexation. No better protection
aud no increased facilities will be
afforded, il is said.-Tuesday's
