CONSIDER JOINING YORK f
Chester County Citizen* IMscuss An- |
nexation Proposition 9
Chester Lantern. ?
A meeting of citizens In the ex- I
trerae northeastern section ol lands- ?
ford township was held Monday at |
Itowells In reference to annexing f
he section east of Fishing Creek, in u
Iandsford, and a small portion of ?
llossvllld townships to York county. G
Some 75 citizens of that section f
were present and while they were fe
apparently willing to sign the petl- *
?lon, which requires one-third of the S
freehollers to call an election, the X
sentiment was divided as to how they E
would vote In the matter. A largo |
number of them expressed them- f
selves as being unwilling to leave 6
Chester county until the proposed *
annexation had received further con- fe
slderatlon. T
Arthur G. Westbrook was chair- fe
man of the meeting, and York county *
ir'erists were represented by W. B. ?

*? noun ui ikvviv nui. a. vruoiviii fk
at the suggestion of some of those fj
oresent, gave nn explanation of how J
the funds intrusted to the Chester fj
lilKhway commission had been ex- u
ponded in Improving "the roads of ?.
Chester county, stating that the orlg- H
innl plan to build 201 miles of road *
with the bond issue of $450,000 hnd ?
of necessity been decreased on no- ?
count of the greatly increased ex- ?
pense In doing the work. ?
lie assured them that the Chester
people regretted the proposed action,
and suggested that the matter could
bo adjusted later on. and I-andsford
he provided with the amount originally
allotted to her for road building
before the plans of the commission
hnd to be changed to conform
with increased costs. H. K. Adams
was present representing the Chester
highway commission.
Mr. Wilson, in the course of his
remarks, told of a plan that tho
people of Itoek Hill had in mind to
form a new county with ltoek Hill
i" the county seat and explained that
this was one reason they sought additional
territory in that section. He
also stated that the citixens in a
portion of the northeastern section
of York county were plnnning to be
annexed to Cherokee county. Mr
Wilson had the petition ready and
explained In detail the legal step-'
necessary to secede from Chestc
county. He made no promises as to
what York county would do for till;;
section in the way of Improved road
ir otherwise. He suggested that in
he event the election was favorable
hat they need not become a part of
'atawbu township hut suggested that
hey form their own township In orler
not to assume any of the indcbt dncss
of this township.
Full Ticket for House.
Yorkvllle Enquirer.
At last there is out n full ticket for
>.he house of representatives?Just
four. and without any prejudice
against anybody who might want to
it nounce between now and the closing
of the gates the Yorkvllle Enquirer
begs to gay that it Is entirely
satisfied with the situation a- it
stands. Nlessrg. Pursley and Bradford
' re members of the house and Mr.
Mitchell has been a member, lie
would have been re-elected two yeuts
ago without difficulty: but "to saw
proper to step down and submit himself
to the draft, which he could V
have evaded without any trouble by g
merely remaining a member of the 2
house. But he did not choose to do n
that, and except for the armistice he ?
would soon have been in service. Mr. E
Oarothers. besides coming of tho right X
kind of parents, has been through two ?
years of school that makes good men ?
better men. Mr. Pursley is seasoned f>
\nd tried, and Mr. Bradford holds Gf
rank in the house that is well worth *
while to his constituents and county, g
Thert are a great many people who f
wou'd like to see Mr. Nunn go back AS
cither to the house or senate; hut so ?
far as the Yorkvllle Enquirer has in- ?
formation he has not made up his g
mind to re-enter the race. His ?
friends are still working oq him. But J
anyhow, from the present outlook. *
York county will be satisfactorily rep- C
resented ?
