Commissioner R.L.rate introduced the following resolution:
Be it resolved by the Board of Commissioners of Harnett County that Senator
J.R.Young and Representative Carson Gregory be and they are hereby respectfully
requested to introduce and have enacted into law by the 1951 General Assembly, a
Statute ammending the preseptly existing law realting to discounts now allowed for
the prepayment of taxes due Harnett County in order to provide that from and after
January 1, 1951, the prepayment discounts to be allowed by Harnett County on Ad
Valorem taxes shall be as follows, and none other:
That a discount of 1 per shall be allowed upon all taxes prepaid during the
month of August of the then current year and that a discount of 1/2 of 1 per cent
shall be allowed on all taxes prepaid during the month of September of the then
current year, and that except as above provided no discount shall be allowed upon
the prepayment of Ad Valorem taxes due Harnett County.
And be it further resolved that copies of this Resolution be transmitted forth-
with to Honorable J.R.Young and Honorable Carson Gregory.
Upon motion of Commissioner Ingram, seconded by Commissioner Byrd, the foregoing
Resolution was unanimously adopted.
Commissioner Ingram introducted the following resolution:
WHEREAS, Honorable L.A.Tart, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, has recently
suffered an illness that has required his confinement in Duke Hospital and that by
reason of such illness and confinement he is unable to be in attendance at today's
metting of the Board of Commissioners ;And,
Whereas, members of the Board of Commissioners deeply regret the fact that
their Thairman is suffering from said illness and the fact that he is unable to
attend the meeting of the Board of Commissioners; And,
Whereas, the Board of Commissioners desire to express to Mr. Tart their sincere .
hope that he shall enjoy a speedy recovery;
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Board of Commissioners of Harnett County
that said board express to Mr. Tart its regret over his illness and its hope that
he shall enjoy a rapid and complete recovery from said illness;
And be it further resolved, that a copy of this resolution be delivered
forthwith to Mr.Tart along with the wish thf each member of this board that he will
soon be able to resume his usual duties and activities.
Upon motion of Commissioner Byrd, seconded by Commissioner Pate, the foregoing
Resolution was unanimously adopted.
Commissioner B.P.Ingram, introducted the following Resolution which was read:
WHEREAS, we are greatly concerned over the ever increasing number of applicants
for Old Age Assistance and the fact that the cost of living has increased to the
point that Old Age Assistance grants heretofore reasonably adequeate are now totally
inadequate;. and,
WHEREAS, we feel that it is unwise and unfail, in view of the increase in
Federal and State taxes, to further burden the tax payers of our county with
providing the funds necessary to provide for all Old Age Assistance applicants in
an adequate manner; And,
WHEREAS, we feel that adult children having parents unable to support themselves
should assume more responsibility for the care of such parents and further, that
the property of individuals receiving Old Age Assistance should be subjected to a
Lien to the extent that said property may be applied to the support of the Old Age
Assistance program; And,
WHEREAS, we feel that the enactment of an Old Age Assistance Lien Law would
accomplish the above stated desired purposes, and would at the same time enable our
country to more properly meet and more adquately discharge its duties to our
needy aged without further burdening our tax payers;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board of Commissioners of Harnett County,
that said board is of the opinion that the enactment of an Old Age Assistance Lien
Law similar to the one introddced in the General Assembly of 1949 is desirable and
would be advantageious'to the needy aged and the tax payers and that said Board
does hereby urge that such bill, or a sttdzilar bill, be introducted in the General
Assembly of 1951 and by said body enacted into law:
AND BE IT
