Editor's note:
Article XIII consisted of Section 43. Such section was derived from G.S. § 160-293.1, which no longer exists. G.S. § 160A-217, which addresses petitions for street improvements, contains a Local Modification for the City of Oxford: Session Laws 1993, c. 240 wherein the Board of Commissioners may order sidewalk improvements, and may assess adjoining land owners in keeping with applicable assessment statutes according to one or more of the assessment bases as set forth in Article 10 Chapter 160A without the necessity of a petition upon finding by the Board as a fact that the sidewalk improvement project as proposed is necessary for public safety.
