CHAPTER 481

SENATE BILL 213

 

 

AN ACT PROVIDING FOR THE DISPOSITION OF THE BALANCE REMAINING IN THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR RELIEF FUND.

 

WHEREAS, there now remains the sum of four thousand two hundred eleven dollars and one cent ($4,211.01) in a fund known as the "Interim Pay Fund" and as the "Spanish American War Relief Fund" referred to in Chapter 500 of the Session Laws of 1949; and

WHEREAS, for many years there have been few claimants for any part of this fund, with the probability that few if any claims against same will be made: Now, therefore,

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

 

Section 1.  The Treasurer of the State of North Carolina shall pay over out of said balance at the rate of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) annually to the quartermaster of the Department of North Carolina United Spanish War Veterans until said fund has been exhausted, and the said quartermaster shall expend said sums only on the written approval of the Commander of the Department of North Carolina United Spanish War Veterans, and solely for welfare work among veterans of said war, their widows and children and current use of said organization.

Sec. 2.  Said department quartermaster shall continue to give bond as provided in Section 2, Chapter 500 of the Session Laws of 1949.

Sec. 3.  G.S. 143‑189 and G.S. 143‑190 and all other laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 4.  This Act shall be in full force and effect from and after its ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 23rd day of May, 1961.
