CARROLL COUNTY: Past time to dissolve Beaver, some claim
I would like to know how towns that had their charters revoked in 1957 by the Arkansas General Assembly can reacivate a dormant charter???
according to Lexis Law:
Effective dates. Acts 1883 No. 22/ 12 effective on passage.
Acts 1957, No.224/2 Mar. 12, 1957. Emergency clause provided: "It has been found and is declared by the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas that there are several inactive incorporated towns in this State, that the keeping of records of such inactive incorporated town is an unnecessary expense to the State of Arkansas,
that this Act eliminates this unnecessary expense by revoking the Charters of such inactive towns, and that its immediate effect is needed in order to authorize the elimination of such expense immediately. Therfore, an emergency is declared to exist, and this Act being necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace, health, and welfare, shall take effect and be in full force from and after the date of its passage and approval."

I have been trying to get the list of the towns revoked. From Benton County to Little Rock to no avail. I am in the same situation in Springtown. They reactivated in 1999. Same problem, same headaches. Thank You Dixie Law
