CHAPTER 1046

SENATE BILL 473

 

 

AN ACT TO VALIDATE ALL SIDEWALK, CURB AND GUTTER AND STREET PAVING ASSESSMENTS BY THE TOWN OF FOUNTAIN IN PITT COUNTY.

 

WHEREAS, the Town of Fountain did, at various times from 1949 to 1953, pursuant to petitions signed by the owners of abutting property, assess various properties with sidewalk, curb and gutter and street paving assessments; and

WHEREAS, during said periods, there were different part-time clerks keeping the records for the town; and

WHEREAS, said records were not properly kept in bound volumes as they should have been and some have been misplaced through the years; and

WHEREAS, it is desirable to have a bill enacted by the Legislature of the State of North Carolina validating said assessments: Now, therefore,

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

 

Section 1. All actions heretofore taken by the officers and employees of the Town of Fountain in assessing various properties in said county with sidewalk, curb and gutter and street paving assessments are hereby in all respects confirmed, ratified and validated.

Sec. 2. Nothing in this Act shall have the effect of preventing any property owner from pleading the statute of limitations which has or may run against such assessments.

Sec. 3. This Act shall not affect pending litigation.

Sec. 4. All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 5. This Act shall be in full force and effect on and after its ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 17th day of June, 1959.
