Mr. Stiranner, Attorney for Armstrongs, McClintocks and Segerstroms,
contended that the Orange Coast College property had no - val ue as far as
the annexation proceedings were concerned and that in elifti?,zting the
value of the Orange Coast College property over one-half the value of the
property in the proposed annexation had filed protests and that therefore
the City Council had no alternative but to terminate the proceedings.
Mr. W. W. Morningstar, representing Mr. George H. Capron, contended that
the proposed annexation is invalid because the petitioners had committed
fraud by deliberately omitting from the proposed annexation, properties
which were inhabited. Others speaking against the proposed annexation
were Mrs. Dale Hollingworth,Mr. McClintock, H. Hagerstrom and George Capron.
An opportunity' --having been given to all persons desiring to be heard, .
and a full, fair and impartial hearing having been granted, Mayor Nelson
stated that in view of the protests and even though the Councilhas a
just reason for the continuance of the annexation, according to the City
Attorney, it would be for the best interest if the Council were not to
proceed at this time.
Councilman Pinklev stated that in view of the protests he would not favor
proceeding with the annexation at this time as it would not be right
to force an area to come in - they ,,could be no asset to the City nor would
the City be an asset to them.
