UNIFORM MECHANICS' LIEN ACT REVISED

A tentative revision of sections 5 and 6 of the second draft of a Uniform Mechanics' Lien Act, has been adopted by the Standard State Mechanics' Lien Act Committee. the Department of Commerce announced today.

The amendment to section 5 provides that an owner of property who has contracted for its improvement shall retain from the contractor 10 per cent of all money as it becomes due instead of requiring the contractor to give the owner at the time of each progress payment a sworn statement showing his outstanding obligations, as was contemplated in previous drafts of the section. The contractor would still be required, however, to submit such a sworn statement before rqceiving the final payment and the amounts retained by the owner.

Minor amendments have been made in section 6 to conform with those in section 5.

Under mechanics' lien acts which are in force in all states the claims of laborers, materialmen, subcontractors, contractors and others who contribute to the improvement of property are secured by the property improved which, under stated circumstances, {nay be sold to satisfy these claims when payment is not made by the person from whom it is due. Because of complaints that some existing laws are not equitable and that the differences in present laws cause expense and inconvenience to persons doing business in more than one state and to laborers moving from one state to another, this committee was appointed some time ago by Secretary Hoover at the request of interested groups.

The members of the committee are representatives of the principal groups engaged in the construction industries including the American Federation of Labor. The National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. which is a body composed of official delegates from each state and which is interested in a.ll uniform state legislation is cooperating in this work through a committee appointed
