A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to resolve the boundary between wake and franklin counties.
Whereas, the County of Franklin was created in 1779; and
Whereas, the most recent boundary survey authorization by local act was Chapter 46 of the Private Laws of 1810 and Chapter 77 of the Private Laws of 1808, but no record of the survey has been found; and
Whereas, under Sections 1322 and 1323 of the Revisal of 1908, a boundary survey was done in 1915 and approved by the Commissioners of Wake and Franklin Counties; and
Whereas, there is uncertainty of the location of the line; and
Whereas, the Counties of Wake and Franklin are in the process of a boundary survey to resolve the correct line; and
Whereas, the State of North Carolina on February 12, 2007, authorized the survey contract with a notice to proceed; and
Whereas, it is desirous to set and ratify the boundary between Franklin and Wake Counties; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  The boundary between Franklin and Wake Counties, as established by joint commission of the two counties in October 1915, reads as rewritten:
"Beginning at the corner of Wake, Franklin, Nash, and Johnston Counties  and ending at the corner Granville County, in Wake County line."
SECTION 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 2007.
