After the annexation of this
territory sought to be now annex
ed by the Town of Farmville, Vir-
einia, the County of Prince Ed
ward would still contain more
than 60 square miles.
Second. The Town of Farmville
does hereby set forth the neces-
sity for and expediency of the
proposed annexation as follows:
/. The territory proposed to be
annexed is a reasonably compact
and contiguous body of land. adj
jacent to the Town of Farmville,
and is now needed by the said
Town of Farmville for it's orderly
and systematic Development and
growth
2. The religious. commercial,
civic. cultural and social interest
of the inhabitants of the area
proposed to be annexed are identi-
cal with the inhabitants of the
present Town, and the said in
habitants are largely dependent
upon the Town Of Farmville to
furnish the facilities necessary to
the enjoyment of these interests.
3. A large portion of the territory
above described, and which, it is
desired TO annex, is laid out into
building lots for residential pur-
poses. and has numerous residen-
tial buildings built thereon, and
its development is due to the
over growth of the Town In
much of said territory the houses
are compactly built. presenting
the appearance of town. and
said territory proposed to be an
neXed. contains a population of
approximately 300 people. Prince
Edward County is not prepared
to deal With such conditions and
populations, and they should be
maintained. managed and con-
trolled by the Town of Farmville
of which, for most purposes. they
are an integral part.

be annexed and said Town needs
said territory within its jurisdic-
ton IN order that it may properly
service. maintain and control such
water lines as have been extended
into the territory proposed to be
annexed
5. The present and prospective
system of public improvements
within the Town and the territory
proposed TO be annexed, such as
the establishment of the width
and grade of streets and alleys,
the plans for construction of sew
ers. sewage disposal plant. Gull
YertS. and drains should be de-
signed, adjusted and made to in
tegrate one with the other so as
TO void unnecessary expense and
annoyance, necessarily occurring
where property is built upon and
developed before such systems are
designed adjusted and made. and
the territory proposed to be an
neXed, has no orderly system for
the provision of such facilities.
6 The fact that a large part of
the territory proposed TO be an
neXed is subdivided into building
lots, is already built upon and
thickly populated and is without
adequate or sufficient sewerage or
drainage systems makes it ex-
pedient and necessary that a COM
prehenSlve, lntegrated and ade-
quate sewerage and drainage sys-
TEN be provided for the proper
sanitation and improvements Of
such territory in order that the
health of the people of Farmville
and of the territory proposed 10
be annexed, may be protected
and promoted
Z, The territory desired to be
annexed is the natural outlet for
the expansion progress. and adj
vancement Of the Town Of Farm
vile; and the orderly develop
ment. under suitable planning and
design of the Town itself and OF
the territory proposed to be an
neXed. can only be accomplished
by the proposed annexation. The
physical development of boil
areas should have and be manag
ed under one master plan, made
