1965 SESSION

 

 

CHAPTER 1017

HOUSE BILL 779

 

 

AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY FOR IMPROVEMENTS AT THE HOUSE-IN-THE-HORSESHOE, MOORE COUNTY.

 

WHEREAS, the House-in-the Horseshoe is a State-owned historic site administered by the Moore County Historical Association, Inc. under contract with the State Department of Archives and History; and

WHEREAS, the Moore County Historical Association and the State of North Carolina together have expended a total of approximately fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) in acquiring and restoring this historic building as a public project, and this investment should be protected; and

WHEREAS, the recent sale of the surrounding private property, together with the dwelling house until now occupied by the custodian of the restoration project, destroys present arrangements for having the custodian live on the site and give adequate protection, and no other quarters are available; and

WHEREAS, the Moore County Historical Society and the Department of Archives and History have agreed that it is necessary to construct a dwelling house on the site itself in order to meet this need, but funds for the purpose are not available: Now, therefore,

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

 

Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Archives and History the sum of fourteen thousand dollars ($14,000.00) to be used for the construction of a dwelling house, including necessary water and sanitary facilities.

Sec. 2.  All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 3.  This Act shall be in full force and effect upon its ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 14th day of June, 1965.
