1961 SESSION

CHAPTER 1178
HOUSE BILL 983

AN ACT APPROPRIATING TO BOYS HOME OF NORTH CAROLINA, INCORPORATED, OF LAKE WACCAMAW, NORTH CAROLINA, THE SUM OF EIGHTY‑SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.

WHEREAS, juvenile delinquency is shown to be an ever increasing factor in the rising crime rate of our State and Nation, and causes a constantly increasing work load for our courts and juvenile authorities; and
WHEREAS, it is recognized that elimination of the causes of juvenile delinquency are far less expense to the State and local governments than the later apprehension, punishment and rehabilitation of such delinquents and juvenile criminals; and
WHEREAS, Boys Home of North Carolina, Incorporated, is a nonprofit, nonsectarian, charitable, Christian organization which provides counsel, guidance, education and development facilities for boys of North Carolina in a Christian environment, thus greatly reducing tendencies toward juvenile delinquency or criminality: Now, therefore,

The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

Section 1.  There is hereby appropriated the sum of seventeen thousand five hundred dollars ($17,500.00) for the biennium beginning July 1, 1961, and ending June 30, 1963, to be paid over by the Treasurer of the State of North Carolina to the Treasurer of Boys Home of North Carolina, Incorporated, as follows: seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500.00) for fiscal 1961‑1962 ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) for fiscal 1962‑1963.
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  All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.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 from and after ratification.
