NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY
1971 SESSION

CHAPTER 265
HOUSE BILL 631

AN ACT TO DISSOLVE THE JONES-LENOIR DRAINAGE DISTRICT NO. 1.

Whereas, the Jones-Lenoir Drainage District No. 1 has become inactive and is no longer feasible, and more than 90% of the members of said district have signed a petition asking that said drainage district be dissolved; and
Whereas, in the 1966 general election of Jones County the voters voted to enclose said district in a General Watershed District, and that to maintain the present Jones-Lenoir Drainage District No. 1 would constitute a multiplicity and overlappage of districts; Now, therefore,

The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

Section 1.  That the Board of Drainage Commissioners of the Jones-Lenoir Drainage District No. 1 are hereby directed to distribute those funds in the treasury of said District to its members in their proportionate shares.
Sec. 2.  That upon the completion of Section 1 of this act the Jones-Lenoir Drainage District No. 1 shall be dissolved and shall cease to be a political subdivision of the State, and the Board of Drainage Commissioners of the Jones-Lenoir Drainage District No. 1 and their sureties, shall be discharged from their official duties.
Sec. 3.  This act shall become effective upon ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 29th day of April, 1971.
