ANNEXATION
GRAB PASSES,

/ Continued from Page 1, Column 81
affirmative votes were those of Sena-
I tors Allen. DuvaIl, Johnson, kauf-
man and StifHer The other % Sena-
/ tors voted in the negative.
At IL O'Clock, after Senator Allen
| had exhausted his stock of amend
ments, Senator Duyall offered a num-
Der designed to correct evils in the
measure, but all of thes were uniform
Iy voted down.
Senator Allen next put in another
referendum for which he made q
speech, and when he concluded Sena-
tor Stiffier. OF Hartford, took the floor.
He began by saying the Democratic
candidate for Senator in Talbot Coun-
u was beaten because he was in ia
vor of annexation. He said he had
advised his friends to go into the city
at the time the city was extended be-
fore, but since then he regretted this
because he had not been treated fairly.
There had been no improvements in
the annex since they came in, he said
Wayerly. he held. has gone into de-
cay. and It's people had gone to Gov
ans because the laws were more
flexible and they could get better pO-
lice protection.
According to the Mayor, the Senator
continued. the police OF Baltimore
were a set of drunkards while those
in Baltimore County were fine gentle
men.
Then Senator Stiffier charged that
the Mayor had gone TO Hartford Coun-
" in the interest of his brother who
was the Democratic candidate for the
nomination in opposition to him and
made the plea for annexation. Yet
he was elected, though he had not
sought the office. He closed by in
| sinuating that certain Democrats were
! influenced by hope of reward.
Senator Crothers spoke briefly. He
maintained that this question of an
nexation had been made a political
! football of by both parties, and the
people had tired of it, He said he had
favored the referendum for Anne
Arundel County, but having become
convinced an amendment at this time
I must NIL NilC bilA' AAS NoAANAuNNN ~
vote for it as it was.
Now that the bill has been passed ii
is interesting to again review the pro-
visions of the bill showing hOw much
territory the city is grabbing after.
The north, east and west boundary
/ lines follow the points of the compass,
/ the southern line has several angles,
so as to take in the territory specially
suited for manufacturing development
and avoid taking in large amount OF
| farmland property.
Beginning at the center of Park
| Heights avenue and Slade avenue
| about one-half mile south of Pixies
vile, the west line runs due south tC
the center of Frederick road, thence
| the south line runs straight to the
| intersection of the Annapolis and
| Humphrey roads, just south of Brook
! iyn. thence nearly east to a point 1000
! feet east of Hawkins Point, and from
! that point the east line runs due north
| to the intersection with the north line
| running due east from the place OF
| beginning.
| These lines include nearly all the
! developments which are built out con-
| tinuously from the present city limits
Canton. Highlandtown, Govans, Ro-
! land Park. Mount Washington, Airing
| ton, Forest Park, Howard Park, Wind
| sOr Hills, Ten Hills, Irvington, West
! port and Brooklyn at the end of the
bridge over the PatapscO; but do not
! include the suburban developments
| 7 ;,,4 I, 80
Relay. Halethorpe Gainesville, Gwynn
Oak, Sudbrook Park, Pikesville and
| RuXtOn.
They also include the waterfront on
both sides of the river where a great
increase of manufacturing and ship
ping is expected, and a large amount
| of unimprOved land.
