Card were read by the City Clerk. Mr. Richard Smith , Attorney representing Mrs. Card, stated that this annexation would create two islands instead of one, which he believed would be harder for the City to annex in the future and that his client and Dr. Myers are being very,.conscientious in developing the business area and that he did not believe that a well developed shopping area in this location would devaluate the adjoining property.
