Chairman, Boundaries Committee
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Resolution No. 4292 dated April 14, 1964, was laid on the table for further
investigation and proceedings by the Boundaries Committee.
Subsequent to that date, suit was started for a Declaratory Judgment by the
Township of Royal Oak., Prior to the trial of that suit the proponents of the incorporation
requested that no further proceedings be had on such incorporation.
The suit was therefore settled by the entry of a Consent Judgment declaring the
petition to be null and void.
Therefore 1 now move that Resolution No. 4292 be taken from the table and
referred back to the Boundaries Committee. After that has been done, I will offer another
resolution declaring the petition to be null and void and requesting that this Board take
no further action thereon.
