A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO CLARIFY THAT THE BOUNDARIES OF THE TOWN OF ATLANTIC BEACH INCLUDE AN AREA KNOWN AS THE POCKET.
Whereas, the incorporation of the Town of Atlantic Beach by Chapter 433, Public-Local Laws of 1937, referred to a map drawn in 1934; and
Whereas, Fort Macon Boulevard had already been straightened by the time the town was incorporated, but the boundaries on the map showed the lines of the old roadbed; and
Whereas, property owners in the 1.75 acre area that was assumed to be in the corporate limits have been paying property taxes and receiving municipal services for 56 years; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
