persons were qualified electors
at the time of the signing of the
Petition. This Plaintiff is inform
ed and believer, and his infor-
nation comes from an examin-
alton of the records, that there
are not as many as ten (1OO sig
natures appearing on the Petit
ion who are freehold-electors.
5. The proposed election is to be
held on December 26, 1850, and
this Plaintiff alleges that Dec
ember 26th is a legal holiday,
and that an election held on said
date would be illegal and unlaW-
full.
6. This Plaintiff is informed
and believes, said information
coming from some of the per-
sons who signed the Petition,
that the reason the election was
set for December 26 was because
that a great number of residents
of the community would be out of
and away from that community,
and. that the powers ito be"
would have a better opportunity
of forcing the incorporation on
the community by not giving
each and every resident a fair
chance to be present and express
his wish.
7. This Plaintiff is informed
and believes that a map for the
incorporation was made back in
1947, and few of the citizens
of the Crescent Beach community
have been waiting since 1947 un-
til the present date to select a
propitious time for an election
so that they could rule and han
die the election and the proposed
municipal corporation.
8 This Plaintiff knows the pro-
posed area to be incorporated
knows that the area is small,
knows that it is sparcely settled,
knows that the majority of the
permanent improvements are re-
sidences, and knows that the area
with it's sparce settlement is not
able to carry the tax burden
which would be thrust upon the
people of the community by this
incorporation. This Plaintiff is
informed and verify believes that
the community of Crescent Beach
would be in even worse condition
than the small town of Ocean
Drive Beach which adjoins it
and this Plaintiff is informed by
some of the officials of Ocean
Drive Beach that the town is in
debt several thousands dollars
and that it has less than FORTY
DOLLARS ($40.OO) in the bank
for operating purposes.
9. This Plaintiff, along with
about one hundred (100) other
citizens, met at mass meeting
in Ocean Drive Beach about two
GU weeks ago for the purpose
of discussing the overall incor-
poration of Cherry Grove Beach,
Tilghman Beach, Ocean Drive
Beach, Crescent each, Atlantic
Beach and Windy Hill Beach. Re-
preventative citizens were pre-.
sent at the mass meeting from
each of the beaches named above
and all of the beaches, except
Windy Hill Beach are highly in
favor of overall incorporation.
This Plaintiff believes that an
overall incorporation can be per.
fected, and will be perfected, and
that the little incorporation of
Crescent Beach will greatly re-
tard the chances of Incorporating
the whole area and in getting
unity among the citizens of the
neighboring beaches.
10. Because of the allegations
stated herein, and on account of
the conversation that this Plain
tiff has had with the leading
citizens of all the communities,
this Plaintiff believes that he and
the other citizens of the commun-
ity will suffer great loss and dam
age if this present Incorporation
is allowed to be perfected; and
this Plaintiff fears that unless
the Court interiors with this
proposed incorporation, that the
same might be perfected and
thereby cause great injury and
damage.
IL. This Plaintiff knows of his
own knowledge that a majority
of the citizens of the Crescent
