C, Thursday, April 19,1956 Number 16 County Legislation For 1956 Session Is Reviewed Several Bills Affect Area Legislation affecting Laurens county enacted at the session of the general assembly which ad- ourned sine die last Thursday, In addition to the appropriations bill for 1956-57, included several measures of importance .accord ing to a review of the work of the county delegation. Appropriation Bill The county appropriation bill carrieiiaa printed totla of $394,190.- 24, of which $307,441.71 will be derived from other sources and $86,748.53 will be raised by taxa tion. This amount is about $3,000 less than last year. However, a provision inserted on the last day of the session di rects the auditor of the county to levy sufficient millage to cover a $62,000 appropriation for deficits: in school operations this year- • $37,000 in District 55 (Laurens), and $25,000 in District 56 (Clin-, ton). This feature will add six mills to the levy in Distrcit 55 and five mills in District 56. Otherwise, the levy for school purposes in the county remains at 25 mills—the same as for this year. In the Clinton district, this 4 levy includes three mills for. bonds and 22 mills for operations. Both districts had submitted budgets that would require in creased taxes for operations, ^ which were not approved due to’ disagreement between the senator! and a majority of the house dele gation. Senator Ralph Wilson and Rep. Robert Wasson favored the in crease, with Representatives King Dixon and C. L. Milam opposed. Appropiatrains for the various departments of the county are: Board of Commissioners, $1874110, Clerk of Court, $28,080; Auditor, $10,880.82; Treasurer, $7,8*5.82; Superintendent of Education, $5,- 320; Sheriff, $70,260; Judge of *Sjx>bate, $8,470; Health Depart ment, $14,150. Also llagietrates, $5,864; Agri culture, $8840; Department of Public Welfare, $7,855; Domestic Relations Court, $3,900; County Library, $13,000; Cornoer, $1,800; County Physician, $2,100; Forest Fire Control, $200; Tax Collector, $2,310; Miscellaneous, $13,325; National Guard units, three, $1,- 800; County Planning and Devel- o p m e n t Commission, $2,000; County Cancer Fund, $1,800. The Board of Commissioners had requested $194,437 for main tenance of roads, chaingangs, bridges, etc., but this amount was reduced to $145,000, the same as this year. Also requested by the Board of Commissioners were $50,000 for maintenance and recapping of »blacktop roads; $50,000 for build ing a central chaingang camp (permanent construction, new buildings) as had been requested by the grand jury; and $2,000 ad ditional appropriation for the county home. These amounts would have required an addit ional levy of 10 mills, delegation members said. They were disal lowed. $280880 Bond Issue A bill was passed authorizing the county to issue $290,000 in bonds to cover two notes aggre gating $150,000, for repairs to the court house, moving and construc tion of new offices for sheriff, constructing and improving coun- yt roads. The bonds were sold last Wed nesday to Ales ter G. Furman Co. of Greenville, at an interest rate « of 2.88%. Laurens-Clinion Water District An act to create a water dis trict in the area one and a quarter miles on each side of the Lapens- Clinton highway 278 was neacted The governing authority would be a commission of three (one from the city of Laurens, one from the territory outside the two towns), and would require an affirmative vote of electors in the district to issue bonds up to $1,000,000 to build a water line from Laurens to Clinton. Election of School Trustee* A bill was passed to have a •referendum on June 12 (same dale as county and state primary) to determine if the county leectors wish to elect trustees in school dutricts 55 and 56. If a maority favors the procedure, then an election for trustees is provided for the second Tuesday in August under authority of _ the County Board of Education. / Trustees County Library Legislation authorizing %e. «p- pointment of two additional mem bers to the board of trustees of the Laurens County Library, in- ' creasing the board to nine mem bers.
