* Wayne County Might Lose Village of Doylestown <ref> Wooster Republican, Wooster, Ohio. 1908 Nov 25, p. 10.</ref>
 
−
When the new legislature meets at Columbus this winter one of the first measures introduced for its consideration may be a bill to change the boundaries of Summit and Wayne County so that Doylestown and some surrounding territory may become a part of Summit, says the Akron Daily Times.
 
−
 
−
There is a strong sentiment among Doylestown people in favor of annexation to Summit, and work along that line is quietly being done by interested citizens, says the Akron paper.
 
−
 
−
To make the change it would be necessary to take the "hump" out of the eastern line of Franklin township, Summit county. This would remove a part of the line about a mile farther west, and take in the village of Doylestown, making it a part of Franklin township and thus become part of Summit county.
 
−
 
−
Doylestown people believe that their interests will be better taken care of if they are taken into Summit county than under present conditions, the Times says.

−
NO STOCK IS TAKEN HERE.
 
−
Little stock in this story is taken in Wooster. Wayne county wants all the population she can get to make a proper showing. Doylestown is as well taken care of in Wayne county as it would be in Summit, and by way of Creston, Wooster is as easy a county seat to reach as Akron. It is believed that nothing will come of this attempt if one is made.
