Cliltou Rivers. i ? \ % I I Mr. Rivers Tells What the Le islature Did ? Mt. Croghan, March 10.?T1 Pageland Journal: At your r quest I will attempt to summs ize on the work of the last legi r lature and especially on some 1 * the acts of a local nature. T j First of all the local bills in 1 T terest I guess is what we ter ? the Peace officer Act. This b J provides for 10 peace officers Chesterfield County, one f - each township who must be 1 resident of the Township f which he is appointed. The ? officers are clothed with authc ity to make arrrests with < 1 without a warrant upon tl same requirements as the rur policeman. These officers a to be appointed by the governc are subject to removal by tl governor for cause, ana are r sponsible for the peace and goc ( order of their townships. The [ are not to be subject to any li . cal authority but are directly r J sponsible to the governor of tl ? State for their official actions. A local bill was passed givir . Cheraw school district a chant to increase its school tew; ah one for Pageland and Cheste I field were authorized. The towns of Chesterfield ar r Jefferson were allowed to vo upon the issuing of bonds ft s sewerage and water works ft | their respective towns. The Wexford school Distrii election for a levjr to build I school house was validated. ! A Rill is on tli*? polondor 1 ' provide for the election of co p ton weigher at Cheraw. l Also a bill is on the calends ; to abolish the office of townshi 1 commissioner in those townshij ^ that have voted bortds for rosi improvement and devolve the r duties upon the board of publ works in such townships. I b lieve these are about all the 1< cal measures. My attitude on the varios ? measures of Statewide impoi f ance is well known. I am pron - that I had something to do wit r the passage of the Public sclio bills. These bills orovide fnr ie go any wl\er<y^Tay or night, e- Prices rea^nable.
