Annexation Vote Defeated for Candee Grove by Moline
Residents of Candee Grove learn the proposed annexation to Moline failed as the law required a majority of all votes. A special council meeting canvassed the returns and reviewed obstacles including town taxes and half mile square/1000 population rules. A petition or court action may still allow future annexation, with residents urged to attend a forthcoming meeting.

City Council Special Session Minutes and Local Issues
A special council meeting at city hall with Mayor Wessel presiding and all aldermen present except Tropp approved a canvass of Tuesday’s election results. The Candee Grove annexation was declared lost 1648 to 208, and talks on grading in Child’s addition prompted a field visit by the council. Farmers fear crossing the round house and an old cemetery road near Sixth Avenue could become a new city drive.
