Mechanics' Liens

Mechanics' Liens.

Chap. 17.—All payments up to 90 p. c. of the total cost made in good faith by the owner to the contractor and by him to subcontractors or by one sub-contractor to another releases the mechanics' lien; but not if made with the intention to evade it. To the extent of 10 p. c. the lien attaches in all cases for 10 days after completion of the work, and no longer unless notice be given as required by the Act, Rev. Stat. c. 120 When a mechanic has spent money and bestowed skill and labour on a chattel and thereby acquired a lien upon it, if he be not paid for the same in 3 mos, he may sell such chattel by auction, giving one week's notice in the newspaper published in the municipality or nearest to it, retaining so much of the proceeds as pays his claim and the expenses, and paying over the remainder to the owner.
