Therefore, subject to the inclusion of this property, the staff recommends that this proposal be approved." Mr. Shettler concluded that he does not believe the City may change the boundaries.

Carleton, past president and Director of Lark Ellen Home for Boys,appeared before Council, stating that they are taking no position on this annexation, although they repre- sent the largest parcel of land in connection with this annexation; also that the 35 acres of land which they own will now be put up for sale since they have found that the climate for this Home is not proper for this area, and they will offer no protest.
