AN ACT TO AMEND CHAPTER 67 OF THE GENERAL STATUTES OF NORTH CAROLINA RELATING TO DOG WARDENS AND COMPENSATION FOR DAMAGE DONE BY DOGS IN GRANVILLE COUNTY.

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

 

Section 1. G. S. 67-13 is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following: "The provisions of this Section shall not apply to Granville County; provided, however, the money arising in Granville County under the provisions of Article 2 of Chapter 67 of the General Statutes of North Carolina shall be paid into the general fund of the county, subject to the payment of salary and travel allowance of the county dog warden as hereinafter set forth."

Sec. 2. G. S. 67-30 is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following: "G. S. 67-30 shall not apply to Granville County; provided, however, the Board of Commissioners of Granville County is hereby authorized, in its discretion, to appoint one or more county dog wardens and to determine the amount of his salary and travel allowance, both of which shall be paid out of the proceeds of the county dog tax. When the county dog tax fund is insufficient to pay the salary and travel allowance of the county dog warden so appointed, the board of county commissioners is authorized to appropriate funds from its general fund or from any nontax or surplus funds to supplement the dog tax fund so that the salary and travel allowance of the dog warden may be paid."

Sec. 3. The County of Granville shall not be liable for any claims for damage done by dogs in the county.

Sec. 4. The term of the present county dog warden of Granville County shall not be affected by this Act, and it shall not be necessary to appoint a new dog warden after the ratification of this Act.

Sec. 5. All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 6. 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 7th day of May, 1965.
