F.    Zoning:

The provisions of the Worcester County Zoning Ordinances as appli-
cable on the day that annexation became effective shall continue to be
applied to the annexed area, until such time as the Berlin Planning and
Zoning Commission includes such area in its general plan, and the Town
subsequently enacts a valid zoning ordinance covering this area. Such
rezoning will be done only after public hearings have been held and other
statutory zoning requirements have been met.

G.    Voting Rights:

All residents in the annexed area shall forthwith have the right to
vote in all general and special elections of the Town of Berlin, subject
to the same requirements applicable to all voters in the Town of Berlin.

H. Taxes:

All properties, real and personal, in the annexed area which are then
subject to the payment of County taxes shall forthwith become subject to
the payment of real and/or personal property taxes (as the case may be)
to the Town of Berlin at the same rate as such properties are taxed in
the remainder of the Town; such taxes will be originally pro-rated from
the date of annexation to the subsequent July 1 and will be due and pay-
able within sixty (60) days of annexation. Thereafter, taxes will be billed
and payable in the same manner as they are in the remainder of the Town.

(1)    Not less than 25 per centum of the persons who reside in the

nicipal corporation and the area to be annexed, accurately describing
the proposed change and the conditions and circumstances applicable
thereto; that said public notices shall specify that a public hearing will
