CHAPTER 269 AN ACT TO RETIRE, WITH COMPENSATION, I. C. BLAIR, FORMERLY OF THE FACULTY OF THE IN- STITUTION FOR THE BLIND. - Whereas, I. C. Blair, of Wake County, taught in the public schools from the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty to one thousand eight hundred and eighty-two and thereafter taught in the State Institution for the Blind continuously until forced to resign at the close of the session in May, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five, because of physical disability; and, Whereas, the compensation received by said I. C. Blair dur- ing his sixty-five years of public service was barely enough to provide him with the necessities of life; and, Whereas, sickness and bad health of the said I. C. Blair and his wife for the past several years has placed the said I. C. Blair in destitute circumstances, and he is now physically unfit for remunerated work of any kind: Now, therefore, The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:
That I. C. Blair, of the faculty of the Institute for the Blind, at Raleigh, North Carolina, may retire from the active faculty of said institution as of March first, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven, and nevertheless be paid a salary of fifty dollars per month by the State of North Carolina so long as he may live, and the State Auditor shall pay to him beginning as of March first, 1927, the sum of fifty dollars per month so long as he, may live.
