*THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., April 10, 1969—6-il
Former Mayor Urges
Support For City Hall
Dear Editor:
Please allow me to express my
feelings to every citizen and tax
payer of Clinton on the Bond
Issue vote, April 15, 1969.
On Tuesday, April 15th, the
citizens of Clinton will express
their desires to our city fathers
on the question of issuing bonds
for construction of a city hall.
I feel proud of our city as I
drive about and see such fine and
beautiful buildings as we find in
our Clinton churches, our Thom-
well campus and Presbyterian
College campus. Then in our
business areas we are proud to
see such buildings as our banks,
public service and manufacturing
company offices.
Yet the very “hub "of our city,
our City Hall is one of our most
run down buildings in our city.
In this rental building one finds
nothing but shortages of space,
very pour arrangements in every
department and a jail far below
the santatary level it should be.
If you as a citizen have never
seen the entire City Hall build
ing and office arrangements, you
owe it to yourself to tour this
building before you vote against
this bond issue.
This City Hall need has been
seen and supported over the years
by many of our city fathers. I
well remember my years on
council when the late Honorable
Mayor Joe Terry and Counselor
Frank Boland Jr. supported and
provided a budget which included
a City Hall Fund payment each
year. The late Honorable Mayor
Peck Cornwell supported this
plan during his year as Mayor
and further supported the pur
chasing of a city hall lot, later
to be used as a much needed
city parking lot.
Certainly we should never for
get the work of the 1966-68 coun
cil consisting of Councilmen Fred
Bragg, George Bagwell, Lynn
Cooper Sr., BoydHoltzclaw, Tru
man Owens and Talmadge San-
ers for their unanimous sup
port in working for a new
City Hall. Through their work,
efforts and support the city pur
chased the City Hall property,
hired an architectural firm and
approved the building layout
and design. Most of all this coun
cil earmarked and invested our
one half of the money for the
construction of this proposed
building.
Then to the two new members
in 1968 we should congratulate
the Honorable Mayor Harry Lay-
ton and Councilman Dewey Oxner
for continuing the work and ef
fort toward providing our city
with this much needed building.
I want to congratulate Council
man Truman Owens for the fine
job he did in helping obtain al
most all of the signatures of our
taxpayers on the petition calling
for the City Hall Bond Issue. A
lot of work by Truman and as
always a fine job.
A lot of work is behind and
now its up to you and I. May I
ask each and every one of you
to vote on Tuesday, April 15th,
and allow Clinton to move ahead.
Let the city provide modern of
fices, a santatary jail, an up to
date police and fire department
now so they in turn can operate
efficency to provide a most val
uable service to each of us.
May I thank each city elect
ed official, past and present,
each city employee and each citi
zen who has worked and jfromoted
this City Hall ideal through the
years. May I ask you to vote
Tuesday to allow our city ad
ministration to proceed with this
proposed building now! We cannot
afford to let this opportunity pass.
Sincerely,
B. Noland Suddeth
