It was pointed out that if this letter from Mrs. McKinlay
was to be considered as a protest, the assessed valuation
of the property totaling $3900.00 was less than 50% of the
total assessed valuation of the entire area proposed to be
annexed.
Mr. Albert W. IicKinlay and Mrs. McKinlay entered the meeting
and were made aware of proceedings that had gone on before
their entrance. When asked by I,ia or Iiemmesheimer if the
letter which had been submitted eras a protest, Mr. McKinlay,
speaking on behalf of Mrs. McKinlay, stated that it was not
considered so much a protest as it was a letter trying to
point out to the Council various phases and aspects which
he felt the Cit;: might have overlooked when initiating the
proceedings.
Mr. George Holt, 18040 East 5th Street, owner of a portion
of Lot 7 of Block I, stated that he was in favor of being
annexed to the City of Azusa. .
Mr. McKinlay again addressed Council and stated his reasons
whir he thought that annexing the portion of his property
as contemplated by the City would be a detriment to its
value, and he urged that the Council consider waiting until
additional areas could be included in a future annexation.
Mrs. McKinlay addressed Council and stated that they are in
the orange business and that in her opinion the additional
taxes created by annexing to the City would be so costly as
to preclude operating their business at a profit.
Mr, and Mrs. McKinlay thanked the Council for hearing them
at this time.
There being no other person wishing to speak on the matter
of the proposed Annexation No. 11, Mayor Memmesheimer ordered

a deadend line 800 or 900 ft. north from Foothill Blvd.
Fire Chief Madison asked that the Engineer also be requested

Azusa Avenue stating that at this time the City has no
