<br />
<br />William French Smith, representing The Irvine Co., 634 So. Spring Street, Los Angeles,
<br />stated it is the position of the Irvine Co. that one half of the owners of the prop-
<br />erty by value within the proposed annexation have protested. On the basis of that
<br />protest it is ~ position that the Council has no Jurisdiction in the matter and
<br />when protests of this nature are made, the City Council is duty bound by law to cease
<br />further proceedings, and pass a Resolution to that effect. With respect to the pro-
<br />tests and especially the Irvine Co., this value is based on the value which appears
<br />on the last equalized assessment rolls. This is an annexation initiated under the
<br />uninhabitedj law requirements and it predisposes that the territory is uaf-babited;
