Town of Hertford v. Harris

The Legislature has authorized municipalities to acquire property for the purposes enumerated in the petition, G.S. 160-204. If unable to agree with the owner on the amount to be paid, the municipality may condemn, G.S. 160-205.

Here, the court has found as a fact that Hertford sought in good faith to acquire title by private negotiation. Defendants have not, by exceptions, challenged the findings. The findings are conclusive. The only question then is: Do the facts found warrant the order which the court made? Schloss v. Jamison, 258 N.C. 271, 128 S.E. 2d 590; Goldsboro v. R. R., 246 N.C.…
