FLAT RIVER CENSUS IS BEING TAKEN THIS WEEK |
|
Petitions for incorporating Flat River are being circulated this week and a census of the population within the proposed corporate limits is also being taken.
It was decided at the last meeting of the Progressive Club to organize under the commission form of government but since that meeting considerable opposition to this form has developed and it has finally been decided to go ahead under the old form. A part of the opposition came from men who are opposed to any form of city government. They waged a campaign of misrepresentation which resulted in considerable misunderstanding as to just what the commission form of government is. For this reason the commission question was dropped. At any time in the future if it is deemed advisable to make a change, this can be accomplished by calling a special election. An effort will be made to have the census and petition completed by next Monday night.
