City Forced To Give
Up Its Operation Of
. Natural Gas System
Bond Holders Force Hand Of Clinton-New-
berry Authority Effective July 15 When Con
fronted With Two Alternatives; Contend Two
Cities Giving Little Cooperation
Following a called meeting of
Newberry city council on the af
ternoon of June SO, it was an
nounced by Mayor James E.
Wiseman of that city after July
10 the City of Clinton and the
City of Newberry will no longer
operate the local natural gas dis
tribution system serving the two
cities. At the same time Mayor
Joe P. Terry of this city was so
informed. .
In explaining the announce
ment Mayor Wiseman stated that
action was taken to that end at
the meeting at the Clinton-New-
berry Natural Gas Authority the
previous Evening and that it
reached that decision in the face
of the contentions of the bond
holders that the cities of Clinton
and Newberry were not operat
ing their respective systems
economically . or efficiently, and
that little cooperation was forth
coming from the two cities.
Mayor Wiseman stated that
the Authority was faced with
two alternatives: either assume
the management of the distribu
tion itself, or else turn the sys
tem into the hands of receivers.
Rather than submit to the latter
course of action, the Authority
selected the former, it was re
ported.
At the meeting it was explain
ed that the bond contract had a
clause providing that if the city
of Newberry wished to give up
operation of the system it would
have to give the Authority twen
ty days notice, and conversely, if
the Authority wished the city to
give it up, it too, would have to
give the Cltr fh* ——o ammint
of notice. Mr. Wiseman add
ed that the matter had been
brought up some sixty days be
fore, but that it had not boon
made public'll!'the two cities be
cause merahem. of the Authority
felt it would hold up the number
of new customers hooking on to
the system with a canvass being
made in the two cities soliciting
for additional gas customers.
Under the present operation
plan the city personnel has been
utilized to read gas meters, make
out monthly bills, collect pay
ments due and make minor ad-

Now with the Authority in
charge effective July 15, two
separate offices will be set ^ up,
it is stated with personnel, one
in Clinton and the other in New
berry, as the work of collect
ing, billing, installing and con
verting, will have to be done by
the staffs of the two offices un
der the direction of the Author
ity.
Since the system hhs been in
operation the City of Clinton
has served the Authority on a
cost basis, receiving $1,100.00
monthly for the service. At the
end of each six months period
reimbursement is made to the
Authority for the unexpended
balance, or the cities reimbursed
for any amount in excess of the
cost-basis argreement. The same
contract has been between the
Authoirty and Newberry, it
understood.
When questioned about what
direct effect the change in con
trol would have on users of gas
service, Mayor Wiseman stated
that there would be no change in
gas rates, but that the City would
no longer do the billing and col
lecting. It is learned from the
city Clerk and Treasurer’s office
here that the same policy will be
in effect. It is reported that at
present Clinton and Newberry
together have about 900 custom
ers about evenly divided. The

1954 Fourth One Of
Safest On SC Roads
Motor vehicle accidents resulted
in the deaths of four persons in
South Carolina during the long
Fourth of July week-end, making
this year’s holiday period one of
the safest in recent years. Chief
Highway Commissioner Claude R.
MdMillan said yesterday Only
three persons died in traffic acci
dents during the July Fourth pe
riod last year. ,
Mry MdMillan said that the
stepped-ilp enforcement program
augmented by 81 additional high
way patrolmen on the roads, co
operation at press, radio and tele
vision facilities, and better safety
program were doubtless responsi
ble for the comparative safety of
the holiday season.
Only two of those killed met
death on the open highways. One
of these occurred near Basiey, the
other near Greenwood. Columbia’s
single fatality was also the city’s
first pedestrian death of the year.
The fourth accident victim died in
a two-car collision in Anderson.
The chief commissioner said
that the low death rate, despite
the heavy holiday traffic, was en
couraging. The tremendous amount
of publicity gwen the hazards of
explains
that there is nothing magical
about this because “South Caro
lina is a land highly favorable to
industry from many stand

Coach Crutchfield said the for
mer Ohio State assistant coach,

This latest appointment rounds

Coach Crutchfield expressed

his fine character traits, person
ality and intelligence. He added:
"I consider Ed Schemtoeohier to
be one of the outstanding young

avid student of the game and has
a wealth of knowledge on the most

to secure his services."
Columbia., .July 8 -A State
Board of Health official said UP
day South Carolina’s 1954 polio
rate is more than doidole average
for the pert five years as the state
enters July, which-is the No. 1
pelio month.
Dr. C. E. McOsniel, director of
the division of disease contort. Mid
his office had received reports of
49 polio cases and one death so far
this year.
At this date lest year, 23 casM
and one death had been reported
and the January through Juna av
erage for the five cases covering
1949-53 was 24 cases.
However, McDaniel said the sit
uation was "not too upsetting:” He
said there was no cause for alarm
unless the rate continues to clindt).
, "The rate may come dawn in
the next few months," he said.
The polio season is generally
considered to run through Sep
tember each year, although cases
are sometimes reported in other
months.
Hardest hit South Carolina
county to date is Charleston with
13 cases, but McDaniel said none
of the Charleston County second
grade school children inoculated
last month with the new Salk pol
io vaccine has contracted the dis
ease.
Charleston County was the only
South Carolina area to participate
in the mass nationwide tost of the
vaccine developed by University
of Pittsburgh scientist. Dr. Jonas
Salk. —“
Four cases have been reported
from Laurens County.
McDaniel said the state had 170
cases of the disease last year, com
pared with 191 cases in 1962.
He called nationwide and state
results from the Salk vaccine so
far •promising ”
"It may not be the answer, but
I believe it is a definite beginning
toward the answer," the state
health official said.
