- W1489014662 abstract "There is evident need in this country for more small homes. Yet our present mechanics' lien' laws constitute one of the principal impediments to the repeated efforts to encourage and promote the individual ownership of homes. The origin and operating effect of these laws will be discussed from this viewpoint. The first mechanics' lien law in this country was adopted by Maryland in 79x.2 The underlying purpose of the statute was to aid in building up the country by attracting employees to the building field. It was urged that the establishment of a right in laborers and building-trade mechanics to a lien against the improved real estate for wages which might be unpaid would result in making available a needed supply of skilled man-power. When the early statutes were enacted, agriculture was the principal pursuit and neither effective labor organizations nor trade associations of the building industry existed. It is understandable therefore that, in response to the needs of the time, legislation would be urged and enacted which provided incentives to engage in the building field. But today, since there is no dearth of employees in this field, legislation enacted on the labor-scarcity theory serves no present need. The situation, if anything, is the exact reverse of that obtaining when the original mechanics' lien statutes were adopted. The new problem of today is how to provide this field with employment by favorable legislation which will attract people to home ownership. The view seems to have gained general acceptance in this country, whether rightly or wrongly, that owning a home is uneconomic and not worth the candle. Certain obvious factors have contributed to this opinion. It will be admitted by everyone that the act of building a home has evolved into such a complicated process as to make the task extremely burdensome and difficult. The effect, by-and-large, of the mechanics' lien laws, from a national viewpoint, has contributed to making the task also financially hazardous. This arises from the potential double liability which these * LL.B., 1923, University of Chicago.
