Delegation Pays Claims
At Meeting on Monday
Authorization for payment of a
number of claims against the coun
ty and hearing of requests for
placing of several roads in the state
highway system was the chief busi
ness that faced the Laurens County
legislative delegation at its month
ly meeting in the court house Mon
day morning.
Approved was a claim for $985
of the Greenville General Hospital
for treating patients from Laurens
County. This amount was the re
maining half Of a $1,970 account,
half of which was paid last year,
inherited by the present delegation
from the previous one. Also ap
proved was a claim from the
Greenville hospital for $421.75 for
special services for a Laurens
county girl, including a bone ope
ration that could not be done in
Laurens.
It was pointed out by the dele
gation that the county will no long
er assume obligations for special
treatment at hospitals outside the
county unless approved by the
Laurens County Hospital Board of
Trustees.
Also approved were claims of
$251 and $81 for hauling stone to
Graham Manufacturing Co., a new
plant in Laurens, for driveways
and parking areas. The company
will pay for the material and the
county will do the work.
Supervisor Bennie Blakely pre
sented four items totaling $661
which were previously authorized
but for which no funds were pro
vided. They were directed to be
paid out of the 1958-59 contingent
could be determined for doing the
work because of the press of other
work in the county.
Authorization wil be issued by
the county to do some grading on
the grounds of the new M. S. Bai
ley School in Clinton.
Ralph T. Wilson requested plac
ing of a road leading out of the Fo
rest Hills sub-division in Laurens
in the state highway system, as
did Furman E. Thomason for a
road 3.9 miles in length in the Gray
Court section leading from High
way 76 to 276. P. S. Bailey renewed
his request for the inclusion of two
roads in the Philson’s Bridge area
in the state system. The delegation
will include the roads, along with
others, in a list to be made up at
an early date.
All members of the delegation
were present, including Senator
Robert C. Wasson, and Representa
tives W. C. Dobbins, W. Paul Cul
bertson, and T. David Sloan, Jr.
Representative Culbertson stated
that inasmuch as he had taken the
oath as Mayor of Laurens, he could
not act officially as a voting mem
ber of the delegation and could not
assume any authority. He also re
signed his post as secretary of the
delegation. Senator Wasson ex
pressed the wish that Mr. Culbert
son continue to meet with the dele
gation, particularly in view of the
fact that he has the notes and mi
nutes of previous meetings.
Mr. Culbertson's term as repre
sentative will expire with the No
vember general election. No meet
ing of the General Assembly is
scheduled before that date, it was

Early stages of work on the new controlled access Interstate Route
26 from Charleston to Cohimbia to Spartanburg and on into North
Carolina is shown here as the four-lane highway approaches the Clin
ton area near Hurricane Baptist Church about four miles from the
city. The Hurricane Church road will pass over the new highway at
the point shown in the left photo, where a 31-ft. deep cut is being
made.
The photo at right shows a view of the 200-ft. wide swath cleared
through the densely wooded area. Dirt from the hill In the foreground
is being moved to the low section shown in the distance near where
an overpass will be built over the Seaboard Railroad.
The big machines, three of which are being used on the job, can
scoop up more than 20 yards of dirt and can unload while traveling
at about 50 miles an hour speed. Grading and building of the road
bed is expected to be completed by the end of the year, and paving
of the route will begin next spring
