Is It Constitutional In Alliance Charter Amendments
A correspondent argues that the Alliance legislation amending the charter may be unconstitutional. The paper notes it did not decide the matter, suggesting the legislature likely stayed within constitutional bounds. It recalls prior railroad charters amended for public benefit, not private individuals, aligning with court rulings. The NC Constitution prohibits corporations created by special acts except municipal cases.
