TREATMENT PLANT?Shown here is an overview of the city's new sewage treatment facility which went into operation last month. The new water treatment plant constructed on Dickson St. to serve the new wells has doubled the citx's water reserve. Impact Of Inflation In Hoke In Hoke County, how much does it take in terms of income to stay even in these times of steadily rising living costs? How much more does a local family need today, com pared with five years ago? According to figures compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Conference Board and others -- plenty. Since 1970. the price of goods and services have climbed to such an extent that the purchasing power of the dollar is off by more than 23 cents. Together with higher Federal income taxes and spiraling Social Security contributions, the total cost of living has gone up by about 39 percent in the period. As a result, the average house hold in Hoke County is getting much less mileage out of the dollar than it got five years ago. A calculation based upon the ? overall findings shows that a local family that had an income of $7,000 a year at that time would need close to $9,730 now to equal its former purchasing power. Familes that were in the $9,000 bracket would have to have $12,500. Those that had $12,000 would require $16,680 and those at the $16,000 level would need $22,240 to come out even. With the increase in their earn ings over the past five years, residents of Hoke County have been better able to keep abreast of the rising cost of living than have those in many sections of the country. According to the figures, the average income in the local area, after deducting personal taxes, reached a level of $9,200 per household bv 1975. as against $17,100 in 1970. The increase was 30 percent. Bigger incomes have one harmful side effect, however. As the Con ference Board points out: "Tax payers' income continues to be eroded by higher taxes on the one hand and by the higher rate of inflation on the other. ' This Is The Law Innocent mistakes If a person pays for the same merchandise twice, can he legally obtain a refund? Yes. If one pays to another money under a mistake of fact, it may be recovered. Otherwise, the recipient would be unjustly en riched. In 1965, the Supreme Court of North Carolina stated: "It is inequitable for the one to receive and retain the double payment as it is wrong that the other who has twice paid his money should lose it and be without remedy. The inequality will be corrected and the balance adjusted by the defend ant's refunding what he has received and improperly diverted to his own use." If there are two persons in a city with the same name and through a mistake, a check is mailed to the address of the one to whom nothing is owed, the amount of the check may be recovered. ' The equitable doctrines of our courts will permit a recovery of either money or property received by one to whom it does not belong. Not to do so would constitute an unjust enrichment of the recipient at the expense of the party who made delivery under a mistake. As a general rule, the fact that the recipient has spent the money he wrongfully received is no legal defense against repayment.
