Augusta. March 8. 1928
T the Honorable Senate and House
of Representatives Of the Slst
Legislature.
return herewith without my ap-
proval.
An Act Providing for a jewelers.
Lien.
In my opinion it would be unwise
to extend the provisions Of our lien
Jaws unless there is pressing need FOR
our doing so. The lien laws were
originally enacted to afford protec-
ton to workmen upon buildings the
theory being that the men who put
their labor into building construction
could not be expected to investigate
the legal title to the property on
which they were employed and that
they should not be deprived of what
they honestly earned in case legal
difficulties in connection with the
property should arise.
The building trades occupy posi-
ton very different from any others.
for buildings must be constructed in
which citizens may live and carry on
their business enterprises.
If jeweler is to be given lien
there is no reason why the same
privilege should not be accorded to a
tailor. a shoemaker and to persons
engaged in other trades and oceu-
pations.
am of the opinion that no prefer
ences should be given to one class OF
citizens unless the same preference
is extended to those in other classes.
L n
edies at law in case his customer does
not pay him for labor performed.
In my opinion all classes should be
treated alike and whatever happens
to hamper trade and give special
privileges to one group in a com
munity creates preferences. and for
the reasons above stated / believe it
against public policy to enact the
law herein referred to.
Respectfully submitted.
