Spencer, Feb. 27—By a special act of the legislature, ratified at Raleigh today, the large shops and yards of the Southern railway, located here, were taken into the corporate limits of Spencer, effective at once. The measure, which passed with opposition, was not only endorsed by President Fairfax Harrison and other officials of the company, but was given their active support.
Property taken into the corporate limits under the special act approximates $3 million and will double the revenues of the town.
Mayor R.J. Goode, the board of alderman, City Attorney Stable Linn, and J.K. Dorsett are largely responsible for the measure becoming a law.
