"Somehow," he added, "they have gotten the impression that they have become annointed with some kind of supreme power." Mt.

Beyer asked village officials Friday night to base their decision on the Mt.

Pleasant annexation proposal in the "best interests" of the entire Racine metropolitan area. Beyer and Harvey also explained city plans to extend the City of Racine boundary line to the Sturtevant village limits through a series of annexations of its own. Both indicated that if the city were successful in pushing its boundary to Sturtevant, the town municipalities could then sit down and discuss the possibilities of consolidation. Claims Basic Interests The city is proposing annexing approximately 350 acres of county-owned property in the Town of Mt. Pleasant, purchasing other private property, taking in the J.

I. Case High School campus and annexing the industrial developments along Highway 11. The County Board's proposal would in theory simplify the matter by doing away with Mt. Pleasant. The County Board fur The Sturtevant Village Board was asked by City of Racine officials Friday night not to rush into a proposal made to it earlier this week by the Town of Mt.

Pleasant to annex seven square miles of town property to the village. Racine Mayor William H. Beyer and City Att. Jack Harvey addressed the Sturtevant board and approximately 200 persons mostly village residents in St. Sebastian's School Hall.

Declared in Best Interest The two and a half hour meeting began with a plea by Racine officials that continued growth by the City of Racine and subsequent expansion of city services would be in the best interest of the entire Metropolitan area. The meeting then turned into a criticism of Mt. Pleasnat town officials, who, Harvey contend-! ed, were attempting to gain control of the village for selfish reasons. The remainder of the meeting was devoted to questions from the audience.

Harvey explained that the city: would have to assume the village's assets and liabilities and in connection with the other two points, indicated that they would be worked, out if the possibility of consolidation arises.

Asked by a village resident to explain the city's basic interest at the present, Harvey replied: "To keep ourselves from being bottled in." Admits Economic Interest Harvey explained that the city presently is in the second stage of its new treatment plant which is being built to serve the needs of the entire Racine metropolitan area. And, unless the city is permitted to grow, he added, it may not be able to keep up with other needed developments. The City of Racine at present has only 74 acres of land available for industrial development to the City of Racine and everything west of Sturtevant to the Town of Caledonia. Beyer explained that the City of Racine is following its present course of action because of Racine area for which mty taxpayers pay much more heavily than persons living outside of the city, but that are used just as much by the non-city resident.

Harvey also indicated the city is contemplating further litigation to collect debts owed to the city by the town and that existing sewer and water contracts are being reviewed and that their validity may be tested in the courts if the town follows either the annexation or incorporation route. Beyer told village residents they are going to have to make a stand. "There can be no neutrals in the days to come," he said.
