Whereas, two hundred and thirty out of a total vote of two hundred and forty voters in Broad River Township of McDowell County have expressed their desire in writing that the said Broad River Township be added to, and become a part of, Buncombe County for the reason that said township is isolated geographically from McDowell County, and that all their social and business relations are with the people of Buncombe County; and Whereas, the public officials of McDowell County and Buncombe County have mutually agreed that the said Broad River Township of McDowell County logically and geograph- ically should be a part of Buncombe County and that the best interest and public welfare of the citizens of said township would be promoted and conserved by the annexing said town- ship to Buncombe County: Therefore, The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:
That all the one thousand nine hundred and twentyfour taxes due from the people and property of Broad River Township shall be collected and retained by McDowell County.
