tion of Pinellas County, Florida, proposed to be annexedto the Town of Largo, having been acdvisedl that it is pro-posed to introdluce a bill into the Senate and IHIouse of Rep-lesentatives at the present session to grant a charter to theTowvn of Largo providing in said charter for the extensionof the present town limits of the Town of Largo, to coveran area of approximaltely eight (8) times the present areaof said town and extencling in one direction approximatelyfour (4) miles from the present town limits of said Townof Largo.

WVe desire to call yonr attention to the fact that a, spe-cial election was held, pnrsuant to a call issued by theTovwn of TLargo, on the 10th day of March, A. D. 1925, toauthorize the said town to extend its corporate limits overpractically the same territory which it is proposed to in-corporate in the territorial limits described in the billgranting the newv charter to said Town of ILargo; at saidelection twenty-eight (28) of the voters residing in theterritor- outside of said town limits voted in favor of an-

188

nexation, and twenty-three (23) voted against annexa-tion. At saidl election thirty-three (33) qualified electorsresiding in said territory, all of whom would have votedagainst the annexation of said territory, were denied theright to vote in said election.

Under the law of the State of Florida providing for theextension of territorial limits of town and cities it is nec-essary to carry the election in the territory affected by atwo-thirds majority. If all of the qualified voters residingin said district had been permitted to vote tile electionwould have carried two-thirds against annexation. Thetown, having failed to carry the election by the necessarytwo-thirds vote, are now attempting to incorporate the ter-ritory in the town limits by legislative enactment againstthe expressed will of the people residing in said territory.

We desire to call y-our attention to the fact that no noticehas been published, as required by law, that applicationwould he made to the Legislature for the passage of anybill amendingp or grantilng a new charter to the Town ofLargo, or for the exiension of the city limits thereof. We,therefore, pietition your honorable body to refuse to enactthe proposed bill into law.
