bury Creamery-Resident
May Agree

Delaware, Aug. 25-At a hearing
Thursday, the board of county com
missioners refused to grant the peti
tion of residents of Sunbury asking
that their village boundary be en-
larged to incorporate some $50 acres
on the north, east and south sides
However, in the plat presented with
the petition, the board indicated an
arbitrary enlargement of the town,
which would meet with their approval
The commissioners plan does not
provide for the taking into the vii
lage of the Sunbury Cooperative
Creamery. The contention is that
the creamery has built it's plant and
made it's own improvements and
would receive no benefit by being in
corporated within the town limits
The only possible motive to bring il
in then it is claimed, would be to Sc
cure the taxes from it for Sunbury.
Another hearing will be held Sept
IA at which time the Sunbury people
will probably agree to the arbitrary
plan of the commissioners.
