"The undersigned, residents of the county of Keweenaw, respectfully represent, that they have received information that there has been brought before your honorable bodies, and urged for immediate and inconsiderate action, a bill for the alteration of the boundaries of the several townships composing the county of Keweenaw, viz: Copper Harbor, Eagle Harbor and Houghton, and the organization of four additional townships out of the territory at present included within the limits of said townships." (Page 1). The document indicates that the changes are not in the public interest due to the resultant higher administrative costs.
