The final hear ing of the matter will be before Judge Peebles at Clinton on May 15th and bond lias been given accordingly. The circumstances leading up to this step by property owners has been pretty welt discussed in the public prints lately and it Is necessary to only give a copy of the papers in the case as follows: COPY OF COMPLAINT. 8tate of North Carolina, , County of New Hanover. J no. W. Harper and Archie Freeman, who sue in benaii or themselves and all others who may ' come in and make themselves parties to this ac tion and contribute to the expense thereof, against D. McEachern, W. F. Robertson, W, F. Alexander. H. L. Vollers and Gabriel Holmes, con stituting tbe Board of Commission ers of New Hanover county. The plaintiffs complaining of the de fendants allege: " ; First That tbe plaintiffs are citizens and tax payers of the county of New Hanover. State of North Carolina, and are the owners of land in Federal Point township, county and State aforesaid, i SecondThat the defendants are the i duly elected and qualified Commission ers of New Hanover county. State of North Carolina, and as such constitute the Board of Commissioners of New Hanover county, State aforesaid. Third That the General Assembly at its session of 1903 passed an act re quiring the County Commissioners of i New Hanover county to build a cer- ; tain fence so as to restore the fence law in certain parts of New Hanover j county and particularly in Federal Point township, and In and by said Act a copy of which is hereto attached and marked exhibit A, and made a part of this allegation; it is provided that the Commissioners of New Han over county shall construct and build the said fence and pay for the same out of the general fund of the county, and shall levy themount of the cost of the same against the real prop erty situate In the - territory where the fence la w. by said act is re established Jtad -ahail eaUeet -tax sufficient to replace tbe sum so drawn from the general fund of the county and in addition thereto may levy and collect from year-to-year a tax suf- LcIest to maintain' the said fence and gates. Fourth That the total amount of taxes paid upon the real and personal property In Federal Point township, as the plaintiffs are informed and be lieve, amount only to the sum of $290, and this at the rate of 92 2.5 cents on the $100 valuation, and if the said Commissioners are allowed to build the said fence and assess the cost of the same against . me jana situate in the territory where the fence law is re-established,, it will amount to the levy of a tax against the real property therein to an amount of about 10 per cent of its value, as the plaintiffs are informed and believe, as the estimated cost of building said fence .is about $2,500. . Fifth That the plaintiffs : are ad vised and believe, and upon such in formation and belief allege that there is a number of owners of real estate in the" territory who have not suffi cient timber to fence their farms, and it will be Impossible for them to make a crop upon their farms this year on account of their being unable to build a fence around same, as required by said law, and If the defendants are allowed to build the fence as required by said act, there -will be a number of real property owners who will lose their land, as they will be unable to make a crop to pay the tax levied against their property for the building of said fence. Sixth That the plaintiffs are advis ed and believe that the said Act of the General ;Assembly lis in violation of the 14th Amendment or the constitu tion of the United States, in that it takes the plaintiffs, and other owners of real property situate in Federsl Point township, without due process of law; and also In violation of the 5th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, in that it takes the plaintiffs' and others' property for a public use without just compensation; and is in violation of the lath Amend ment of the Constitution of the United States, Jn that in and by the said Act the' entire cost and expenses of building and maintaining said fence is to be assessed against the real property situate in territory where the fence law Is re-established and which said property re ceives no benefit from the same, al though the property to be benefitted by the said act, as the plaintiffs are in formed and believe, is the property situate in the territory wherein the stock law remains in force. Eighth That the plaintiffs are ad vised and believe, and upon such In formation and belief allege, thai -she said act is in violation of Article 7, See. 7 of the constitution of the State of North Carolina, In that the same Is a levy of a tax against the real prop erty situate in the territory wherein tbe fence law is re-established by said act and the cost of building said fence, as the plaintiffs are informed and be lieve and so allege. Is not for a neces sary expense of the county, and there Is no provision In said act authorizing the said act to be submitted to the quslified voters In said territory. Ninth That defendants are about to build" the said fence and have actually surveyed' out the lines and have advertised for bids for the build ing of said fence and. will, unless re strained' by this Honorable Court build sad fence in accordance with the terms of said act and levy the cost of same , against -the real property situate in the territory and will pro ceed to collect the same and will ad vertlse and sell the plaintiffs' and other owners' real estate in said terri tory unless .the said tax. is paid, and the plaintiffs are advised and believe that they receive no becpflt -whatever from the said act, but the said apt only restores the plaintiffs, and other owners of real estate in the said terri tory their common law right of pas turage. For a second cause of action the plaintiffs complain and allege: (First three sections above.) . Fourth That the General Assembly of North Csrolina at itssession of 1903 passed an act amendatory of the act set forth and referred to in the 3rd allegation of this complaint , and in and by the said act it wss pro vided that the cost of constructing and building the Baid, fence referred to in paragraph 3 of this complaint should be --levied, against the rear property situate in the eountysof New Hanover. Fifth That the plaintiffs are ad vised and believe, and upon such In formation, and belief, allege that the defendants have submitted the last mentioned act to their counsel and have been instructed that the said last mentioned act is in violation of Art 2, Sec 14, of the constitution of N. C, in that the,act was not Yead in each House ancT passed three several read ing, on three different days and the yea and nay vote so entered upon the journals of each House. And the plaintiffs are advised and believe that the said act was invalid for that rea son as the same was not .necessary. And the plaintiffs are further advised and believed that if either of the "said acts are valid, the last mentioned act Is valid and the Commissioners should not assess the entire cost of construc tion of said fence against the real estate situatain the territory wherein the fence law is re-established, but that tbe cost of the same should be assessed against all real property in the county. Sixth That the plaintiffs. are ad vised that the Commissioners will not assess the cost of the fence required by the -first mentioned act against all the real property in the county, but are going to assess it against the real property situate in the territory, where in the stock law is re-established and will proceed to collect the same by levying upon the real property of the plaintiff and others in said terrij tory and each of the owners will have to bring suit to prevent the county from lev; ing upon their land and sell ing tbe t4ue to pay amount levied, and this will result in innumerable suits. Seventh That tbe said last mentioned act is unconstitutional and void In that it is the taking of the plaintiffs' property in Federal Point township for the benefit of persons resident in the district where the no fence law is to remain in force with out just compensation and due process oi law in that the plaintiffs derive no benefit from the same. (Eighth, Ninth and Tenth sections same as Seventh, Eighth and Ninth above.) . Wherefore the plaintiffs pray judg ment (1) That a restraining order ssue against defendants, the Board of Commissioners of New Hanover coun ty, restraining and enjoining the de fendants, their agents and servants from building the said fence and from levying a tax against the real property of the plaintiffs and other residents in Federal Point township and from pro ceeding lo collect the same. (2) For the costs of this action. (3) For such other and .further relief as the plain- tuts under the circumstances may be entitled to and as to this Honorable Court shall seem meet and proper. In an order granting thfr Thjtffic&oir as prayed for above, Judge Cooke fix ed bond of plaintiffs at $100 and set May 15th ar the 'date on which the ease shall be heard before Judge Pee bles at Clinton.
