does hereby set forth the neces-
Sly for and eXpediency of the
proposed annexation as follows
| The territory proposed to be
annexed is a reasonably compact
and contiguous body of land, ad-
jacent to the Town of Farmville.
and is now needed by the said
Town of Farmville for its 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 idsnti-
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 a town and
said territory proposed TO be an
nexed contains a population of
approximately 300 people. Prince

necessarily occurring
where property is built upon and
developed before such systems are
DESIGNED, adjusted and made. and
the territory proposed to be an
has no orderly system for
The provision of such facilities.
s The fact that a large part Of
the territory proposed to be an
neXed is subdivided into building
lots, is already built upon and
populated and is without
adequate or sufficient sewerage or
drainage systems makes it eX-
