CHAPTER 193

AN ACT TO AMEND AN ACT ENTITLED "AN ACT TO REINCORPORATE THE TOWN OF FELTON", BEING CHAPTER 208 OF VOLUME 24, LAWS OF DELAWARE, BY PROVIDING FOR ANNEXING LAND.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Delaware (two-thirds of each Branch concurring therein):

Section 1. That Section 3 shall be amended by adding the following:

Annexation--The corporate boundaries of the Town of Felton may be enlarged by the annexation of contiguous territory. Annexation shall be accomplished by written agreement between the owners of the land to be annexed and a majority of the Town Commissioners. The agreement shall include a survey description of the lands to be annexed, shall be executed by the owners of the land and by the majority of the Commissioners, shall recite that the described lands are annexed to the Town of Felton and shall be executed as deeds conveying real estate. Upon the agreement being recorded in the Recorder of Deeds Office in Dover, Delaware, the annexed lands shall become a part of the Town of Felton just as other lands now within the Town. Provided, however, that there shall be no annexation without a favorable decision by referendum of the Town of Felton.

Approved December 20, 1963.
