AWAITS PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
Halloweil Annexation Enabling Act
Not Likely to Be Presented.

1t was stated Tuesday afternoon by
no less authority than Representative
Williamson of Augusta that it was not
at all likely that an enabling act pro-
Viding for n vote upon the matter or
the annexation Of Hallowcll to Augusta
by the voters of the two cities would
be presented at the present session of
the Legislature. Although he was
strongly in favor Of the annexation Of
Hallowell when the sentiment Of the
voters of the two cities was in favor
OF it he believed that such a measure
If presented at the present time to the
voters of the two cities would be de-
feated in both municipalities.
He believed that to start such a
movement now would make it appear
that Augusta was trying to "gobble
up" the smaller city and he did not
think the Legislature should seek to
pass an enabling act until the city
governments and boards Of trade of
the two cities We're favorable towards
it.
As viii, be remembered meeting Of
the boards of trade of the two cities
VAS held ut the Augusta House on the
Monday before the opening of the
present session of the Legislature at
which the proposition was explained
at some length by Representative Will
hanson and while there was consid-
cradle sentiment in its favor expressed
by members of the Augusta Board of
Trade the members of the Iiallowell
Board of Trade. who were present az
the guests of the evening were quite
strongly opposed to it.
