<br />annexation was submitted and read as follows:
<br />"It has been brought to my attention that a petition for an annexation
<br />election affecting an area in the southwest part adjoining the City of Eugene,
<br />Oregon, has come before the City Council.
<br />The description of this area as set fprth in ~he petition includes a
<br />tract of land owned by the undersigned which lies at the extreme south part of
<br />the tract proposed to be annexed. It is bounded by Jefferson Street on the
<br />East and Friendly Avenue on the west and 24th on the South. This place is
<br />being operated as a farm, has only one dwelling house on it, together with a
<br />barn and chicken house. The taxes are already excessively high.
<br />The writer of this letter feels that an injustice be done if this tract
<br />of land be included within this proposed annexation. He sees no advantage
<br />whatsoever, only higher taxes, more city liens, and eventual confiscation by
<br />the City of Eugene.
<br />Therefore, I plead with the Mayor, Council, and Manager to kindly take
<br />_~teps in order that my tract of land be excluded from the proposed annexation
<br />~etition~!. '_
<br />
<br />Upon motion the communication was ordered received and placed on tile. Motion
<br />. carried.
