“I thought you gentlemen might

“that the county is getting some

then expressed his appreciation for
the small sum granted the clerk’s
office earlier this year which en
abled him to employ a third sec

Liens Filed
Against 750
On Relief
Approximately 750 liens, or one
for every person In Harnett Coun
ty receiving old age assistance
grants, were being filed and In
dexed this week in the office of
the clerk of oourt.
Under a new tow passed by the
last legislature and effective on
October 1, the state takes out a
lien against the real property of
anyone receiving old age assist
ance. In the event the property is
sold by the beneficiary of the
grant the state is reimbursed to
the amount of the old age pension.
In the event of the death of the
beneficiary, the lien assures the
state of recovery from the estate.
Welfare officials report that fre
quently the very children who
neglect their parents and
fall to provide adequate support
for Ahem inherit property from
the neglected parents. Purpose of
the new tow is tb discourage this,
and assure the state recovery of
money spent in this type Os case.
Rather than sort each case, liens
are automatically taken out on all
cases.
Summing up. he said. “If the
: voters want this parte badly enough
. to be taxed, they can have it.
