Amends GS 136-69, which allows for a special proceeding for the laying of a cartway, tramway, or railway in instances where there is no public road or adequate means of transportation to get to land where timber is being cut and removed, there is a quarry or mine, or there is an industrial or manufacturing plant or cemetery. Adds that a cartway, tramway, or railway may be wider than the current limit of 18 feet in width, but no more than 30 feet in width, if a jury of view determines that it is necessary or there is good cause. Applies to special proceedings filed on or after the date the act becomes law.
