The City of Roanoke hereby sets forth the necessity for and the expedien.o~ of the proposed annex ation, that is to say: · · · ~l).~ That it is both expedient and necessary to annex the said territory because it lies just out- side of the City of Roanoke and in the line of its inevitable growth, and must of necessity become a p~sioal part of the city in the near future: s. 75° §2' E. 20" E. 786.5 fee% south bank of the ~S same; thenoe,-with same tO present it mean- Because~ it is highly expedient and essential, if not abso]utei~ necessary, that the sewerage, drain- mge and water supply system of Roanoke City, should constitute one comprehensive system, and be plmnned on. one comprehensive scale, to the end that when the inevitable consolidation of this outlying territory with the City of Roanoke:occurs, the people will be saved the loss and waste necessitated by the abandonment and replacement of inadequate sewers, drains and water systems, and for the protection of life and property, and for the se- curity of health by the abandonment of the tess pools now used in some sections of the territory proposed to be annexed. (2). That the crowded and congested conditions, at present prevailing in almost every section of City, may be relieved by adding additional territory to the corporate limits of the City not built upon, but adapted to city improvements, so as to afford cheap and desirable looations for the .erection of co~modious, healthful and beautiful residences. City, under and the other of Roanoke, be capable of Roanoke, the and most (3). That the present prospective system of public improvement to the City, such as the establish-' ment of grades of streets and alleys; the plans of construction of sewers, culverts, drains, and water and gas mains, may be designed, adjusted and made so as to avoid unnecessary annoyance and damage, necessarily occur- ring where property is built upon and develuped before such system are designed~ adjusted and made. (W) The fact that a part of the said territory is already built upon, though without any sufficient system or sewers or other improvements making it not only expedient, but necessary that some complete system of sewerage be properly provided for the proper sanitation and improvement of said territory. (5) Because in the light of modern hygiene the health'and indeed the ].ives of the people of Roanoke make it necessary that all adjacent territory that is populated even moderately thick shall be brought rules and regulations of the Board of Health of t~e said City, for the prevention'of Typhoid[ typhus fevers and diseases. a 66) Because t~e territory lies in the direction of the natural growth and development of the~City and most of the property has been put upon the market in lots, and has been so managed ms not to for use for agricultural purposes. · · (.7). That the territory proposed to be annexed is in the line of the inevitable grcavth ~f the CltF : of the business Of all persons residing or trading in 'said 'territory l's transacted in the and it wi].l greatly with residents of said city, or in offices located within the city limits~ transaction of such business to have the said territory brought within the corporate limits of City of Roanoke expedite the said citer. there in, enjoy many and fire department Ths, t the inhabitants of this territory and the persons owning property and transacting business of the advantages o£ the city streets and improvements and much protection from. the police of the citY, and thei'r lands are thereby increased in value without the payment of any taxes to the city therefor.

Mr. Collins stated that the Company had in- stalled electrical equipment both at the Muse Spring and the River Spring and that the water supply was what larger than it has been for some weeks past. He further stated that with the release of the water by the N.& W. Railway Company and the operation of the wells at Crystal Spring, the City would have a sufficient supply for the next two yeai. s; that the Company is considering the river as a source of supply and are in preparing plans with this idea in view: that the plans would be presented to Council about January 1, It is a question as to whether or not the City would permit the use of the water between Roanoke and Salem S omo- engaged 1921. cr whether it would force the Ccmpany to go above Salem for its supply. In the event that it is necessary for the Company to go above Salem for the supply, it would necessitate a considerable more cost which the Company would have to finance, and would possibly necessitate additional water rates.
