posing the board of county commits
sioners of Marion county, Florida, re-
spectfully represent to you as our rep

House of Representatives Of the state
of Florida, now in session, that there
is current in Marion county a rumor
that a bill will be introduced at the

ing for its purpose the establishment
of a new county embracing a certain
portion of Marion county, in which the

tain portion of the county of Citrus,
and a certain portion of Levy county

ion county and to the interests of
those citizens of Marion county whose
residence and property would be en-
braced in the proposed new county, we
respectfully protest against the pas
sage of any bill looking to the forma-
tion of any new county that will ne
cessitate any change in the county
lines of Marion county as they now
exist. And further respectfully request
that you and each of you use your in
fluence, vote and energy to defeat the
passage Of any such bill, if same be in
troduced, and that you discourage the
introduceitn of such bill
