This territory includes 'the.~ Northern portion of t,~.orningside Heights excluding Blocks ?-8-9-10-20-21-2E. The Cituy of Roanoke hereby sets forth the necessity for and the ext:edienc~ of the proposed annexation, that is to say: (i; That it is both expedient and necessary to annex the said territory %eca~.,:e i'~ lies 'just outside of the Oit2 of Aoanoke and in tile line of its inevi- table growth, and must of necessity become a physican part of the city in the near future Because it is highly expedient and essential, if not absolutely necessary.' that the sewerage, drainuge and water supply system of aoanoke uity, should consti-il tute one comprehensive system, and be planned on one comprehensive scale, to thc end that when the inevitable consolidation of this outlying territory with the City of aoanoke occurs, the people will be saved the loss and waste necessitated by' the abandonment and replacement of inadequate sewers, drains and water supply systems, and for the protection of life ard property, and for the security of health by the abandonment of tho cess pools and septic tanks no:~ used in some sections of the territory proposed to be annexed. (2) That the crowded and congested conditions, at pre~ent prevaili.~ in almost ever[,: ~eetio,',. ~f the Cit~', ~.~uy be relieved b~' ai,..ii-~.~.= additional territory to the corporate limits of the uity not built, upon, but adapted to City improveme~ts, so as to afford cheap and desirable locations for the er,~ct~cn of commodious, healthful and beautiful residences. ~5) T?~t the present prospective a~'stem of public improve.~,,ent to the such as the establishment of grades of streets and a&le~'s; the plans of ccnstructlon of sewers, culverts, drains, and water and gas ~.'~ns, may be designed, adjusted and made so as to avoid unnecess,ar~, annoyance and dams.Se, necessarily occurir~ where property is built upon and developed before such systems are designed, adjusted and made. (4) The fact that a part of the said territory is alr¢-adj, built upon, though without an~ su~' ' _ ~,~czent systems of sewers or other improvements nmkin~ it not only expedient, but necessa~- that san~ c, mplete system of se'~verage be properly provided for the proper sm~itation and improvement of sai.d territory. (5) Because in the light of modern hygiene the health and indeed the lives of the people of Roa~.mke City, make it necessary that all adjacent territory that is populated even moderately thick shall be brought under the rules and regu- lations of tt-~ Board of Health of the said Cit$~, for the prevention of typhoid, ty-phus and other fevers ~nd diseases. (6) Because the territo~ lies in the direction of the natural growth and development of the City of Roanoke, and most of the property has been put upon the market in lots, and has been so managed as not to be capable for use for ao~ri- cultural purposes. (?) That the territory proposed to be armexed is in the line of the inevitable growth of the City of Roanoke, a.ud most of the business of all persons residing or trading in said territory is transacted in the City of Roanoke with residents of said city, or in offices located within the cit~, li ''~ -' m~, and it will greatly expedite the transaction of such business to have the said territor$~ brought within the corporate limits of said city. (8) That the inhabitants of ibis territory and the persons owning pro- perty and transacting business therein, enjoy many of the advantages of the city streets and improvements and such protection from the police and fire department of the city, and their lands are thereby increased in value without the pa~,ment of any-taxes to the city therefor. (9) That the City has improved many of i~s streets up to ~he City limits opposite said territory and the said territory should be annexed in order that there may be some memns of opening, improving and rmintaining the highways therein, as well as, the improvement and maintenance of those already laid out. ~:.

(8) That the taxes assessed collected and expended during the said ~{ period of five years shall be so assessed, collected and kept, that the same may be,~ expended as hereinbefore provided in the annexed territory from vahich it was so collected until and unless a sum be set apart equal to twelve per centum of the assessed value at the time of annexation of the lands annexed, and when said sum shall have been so set apart and the public impFovements shall have been begun, the,~ land annexed shall be subject to the City tax rate. , (6) That the 0ity of Roa~mke will, as soon as practicable in its judg- ~i meat after ann'exation is accomplished, afford police and fire protection and public school facilities to the citizens residing in the annexed territory, and will, with all reasonable dispatch afford and furnish other public facilities ard improvements to said citizens, as provided by law. {7) That in the annexed territory no streets or alleys s?,~ll be o]:ened or projected, except with the consent and approval of the Council of the City of Roan eke. (8) That all school children livin~ in Rca ~ no~e County and now attending any school in the annexed territory shall 5~ave tho riEht to continue in attendance upon said school for a period of two years from the date of annexation under this ordinance.

And in case any such natural waterway sh~!l be converted into an. enclosed or covered sewer or drain by the said cit~~ and its u.~e is necessary for such drainage or sewerage by the said county, the terms and conditions of such user shall be agreed upon by the said city and said county, and in case of disagreement, shall be settled by arbitration, one arbitrator to be appointed by the said city, another by the county desiring the sue and the third by the two arbitrators so appointed and their decision shall be final and conclusive on ~il partie~.

The City of Roanoke hereby sets forth the neces~cit~, for and the exped- iency~ of the proposed annexation, that is to say: (1) That it is both expedient and necessary to annex the said territory because it lies just outside of the City of itoanoke and in the line of its inevi- table growth, and must of ne, cessity become a ph~'sican part of the city in the near future: Because it is highly expedient and essential, if not absolutely necessary, ~.~' that the sewerage, drainage ard water supply system of Roanoke, City, should consti- :+ tute one comprehensive system, r~nd be planned on one comprehensive scale, to the !. !, end that ~hen 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 supply systems, and for the protection of life ard property, and for the security of health by the abando~nent of the cess pools and septic tanks now used in some sections of the territory proposed to be annexed, That the crowded and congested conditions, at present prevailing in almost every section of the City, may be relieved by adding additional territory to the corporate limits of the City not built upon, but adapted to City improve- ments, so as to afford cheap and desirable locations for tlse erection of commodiouS, healthful and beautiful residences. {3) That the present prospective ~-stem of public improvement to the City, such as the establishment of gr~.~.des oi' streets and alleys; the plans of construction of sewers, culverts, drains, and m, vater and gas mains, ::~.ay be designed adjusted and mnde so as to a. void unnecessary annoyance and da~nage, necessarily occuring where" property is built upon and developed before such s~'stems are desimned_ adjusted ~.~.nd m~de. The fact that a p~rt of the said territory is already built upon, though without any sufficient systems of sewers or other im~rovenents makin~ it not only expedient, but necessary that scme complete system of sewerage be pro.r, erly provided i'or the prop. er sanitation and improvement of said ter:-itory. Because in the light of modern hygiene the health and indeed the , ,,,a,~e it necessary that all .~djacent territory lives of the people el' Roano~ City ~ ~ ' ' tb~t is populated even moderately thick shall be brought under the rules and regu-: lation~ of the Board of Health of the said City, for th~ prevention of typhoid, typhus and other fevers and diseases. Because the territory lies in the direction of the natural growth and development of the City of Zioanoke, and most of the propert~ has been R~ut upon the me. rket in lots, and has been so managed as not to be capable for use i'or agricultural purposes. (7) That the territory proposed to be annexed is in the line of the inevitable growth el' the City of Roanoke, and most of the business of all persons .residin~ or trading in said ter~-itory is transacted in the Cit~, of noanoke with residents of said city, or in offices located within the city limits, and it will greatj[y expedite the transaction of s~ch business to have the said territory brought within the corporate limits of said cit~. (8) That the inhabitants of this territory and the persons ov~ing pro- perty and transacting business therein, enjoy many of the advantages of the city streets and improvements and such protection from the police and fire departments : of the City, and their lands are thereby increased in value without the payment of il any taxes to the City therefor. ,,. {9) Tls. at the City has improved many of its t~treets up to the City limits opposite said territory and the said territory should be annexed in order that there may be some means of ooenin~, improving and maintainin~ the hi.~:nways therein," as well as, the improvement and maintenance of those already laid out. 4.

As a resident and tax ~yer of this City for over 35 years ~d a member of the City Co. oil I am compelled to take exception to-this council being aslee~ on their job. I am sure we all agree that Churches and the moral welfare of our City comes first Second our schools & education, In order to carry this out we have to make our budget accordingly and propotton our moneys to carry this into effect. After this is done such moneys as are available we can then place to beautifying the Oit~ In our last budget we appropriated ~'7§00.00 to l~ok after this work. 2his' 0ouneil has widened Franklin Road between Jeff. St. & Henry, widened Jefferson St. for two or three blocks, Campbell Ave. from Commerce to 4th St. S.W. and cut a number of damgerous corners off in all sections of the City. Should we not be given credit for this work? Any set or class of people may criticise but unless they can offer a sound reason or remedy in my mind tis far better had they not spoken at all. We have now before us a condition that requires food for thought and might Jeopardize the people of the N. :~. Section of our city as well ns church property to the amount of over a quarter of a million dollars. This is the only white approach to our good City from the north and would it not be a wonderful help to ~ur people all over the City to say we will co-operate and help you save the only white approach through 10th St. N. W. thereby carrying out to my mind one of the foremost City l~lanning Propositions that the people of the v~rious Civic Clubs could undertake . What we need is more co-operation along civic lines, not censorship lets pull together and keep Roanoke progressing all the time. This Council has started tho City Plannin~ in a way but we should remember that it takes time as well as money and above all we should do nothing that w~ll bring about an increase in our taxes to carry out an extensive program along these"lines.

That a new library building for housing this grey;lng institution is manifestly needed, and the Council is glad to go on record as endorsing and recommendzn6 to the citizens the support of an adequate Public libra~r, and expresses the hope that if, within the next year or two, condi- tions in the City are favorable there should be submitted an independent bond issue to the freehold voters providing for a public library. };~.

Gentlemen: The Council of the City of Roanoke is in receipt of a copy of a report made by A Wagner, First Assistant Engineer for the State Board of Health, with reference to an examination made of the water supply furnished by the Roanoke Water Works Com- pany to Vinton and the South East Section of the City of Roanoke. As stated in the report, complaints as to the disagreeable taste and odors have been made for the last five years by the water users in the sections named. It seems that the Roanoke ¥~ater ¥~orks Company ~has not taken the necessary precautions to remedy the condition complained of. The report states that no application has been made by the Roanoke Water Works Company for a permit to construct ~ filtration plant for the treatment of the water, although application bla~s 'have been furnish- ed it by the State Board of Health. The report states that the necessary precautions to keep the chlorinator in effectual working order have not been taken. The report with reference to the Vinton supply, which supply is also the supply for the South East Section of the City of Roanoke, states that the water shed is inhabited and the proper sanitary facilities have not been provided for such inhabitants. It recommends (a) That steps be taken immediately to provide a sanitary privy at the dwelling house on the Beaver Dam water shed. (b) That the company install a chlorinator in such manner that the dosage of chlorine can be ef- fectually controlled. From the report and complaints daily coming to the Council about the condi- tion of the water, Council is of the opinion that the Roanoke V~ater ¥~orks Company is not using the precautions necessary to furnish the citizens of Roanoke with a supply of pure and wholesome water, and it respectfully requests that the State Cot- )oration Commission v~ill enter an order directing the Roanoke Water Works Company ;o comply with the recommendations contained in the report, and to take such action ~s may be necessary so that the citizens of the City may h~ve a supply of pure and ~hole some water."
