Will receive the is prescribed in the statute and Subscribe for the Supreme Court of the state has held upon numerous occa sions that this procedure must be followed. The election of 1906 was not held in accordance with the s ta t utory provisions in that the vo ters inside the municipality and those in the territory proposed to lie annexed were permitted to 1 vote promiscuously at the same j polling place and their ballots were put in the same ballot box ! and counted together. This; lieing the case it was impossible to ascertain whether or not a ' majority of the voters w ithin o r 1 without tlie proposed territory | were in favor of annexation. Many questions are involved locally. Tli.' most important of which is the m atter of taxation. t Many citizens have been paying ; p. municipal tax unlaw fully lev ied. However, the Supreme! Court of thin state has decided that taxes voluntarily paid can ] not he recovered although th e : levy was vmd. This rule is even carried further, to the extent thu- to. payment of an unlawful i tax cannot he recovered unless paid under actual coercion, ordi-j nary protest not being sufficient. The residents living in the outside territory have had the benefit of fire protection, city water, electric lights, police pio- tection and such other benefits as the rest of the municipality have enjoyed. On the other hand if at the coming election it was de cided not to annex the territory in question, the residents in a a large iwrtion of the town could no longer receive the use of city water, nor the benefit of fire pro tection, lights, etc., as they are Ç jr fc 'o /t A y now enjoying. r / m *y m S k 'r A p m t r / c t c ^ * There seems to be no question but what the proposed territory annexation will carry when sub mitted, which is understood will be in the near future.
