Gilkey v. City of Asheville
Supreme Court of North Carolina · Decided July 2, 1930 · Stacy, Claekson
154 S.E. 93; 199 N.C. 218; 1930 N.C. LEXIS 91 (South Eastern Reporter)

Gilkey v. City of Asheville

Opinion of the Court

Stacy, C. J.

This is a companion case to Reynolds v. Asheville, ante, 212, and is controlled by what was said in that case, the similarity of the fact situations in the two cases being such as to call for no dis-tinguishment or further discussion. The legal questions involved are the same.

*219 We are not unmindful of the apparent equity of appellants’ position, considering the burdens assumed and benefits conferred by the extension ■of the city limits, but this is a matter which the Legislature is presumed to have considered, and the law is as it is written.

Affirmed.

ClaeksoN, J., dissents.
