County Rural Fire Recommendations Await Water Study BY ERNIE SEGARS Many rural communities have long had to face the problem of fire protection, many times with out much success. A recent study was made by a committee whose duty it was to study the feasibility of establish ing a county wide fire protection and warning system in Laurens County. This committee made certain recommendations to the county delegation that should im prove the county’s ability to com bat the fire threat. A special actoftheSnuthCarn- lina legislature provided for this committee. It is composed f Marvin N. DeYoung of Clinton, Frank Dial of Laurens, JamesD. Wasson of Laurens, Charles Tuc ker of Gray Court, and Charles Workman of Joanna. According to Representative David Taylor of Laurens, this program will lie held until a tho rough study of a county wide wa ter system is made. The com mittee in charge of this study has submitted their information to Herner Engineering, Inc. of Greenwood. This firm is making a complete survey of the county’s needs, including such things as garbage disposal, sewer systems, and the proposed water and fire systems. This compre hensive plan is being secured with a grant from the Farmer’s Home Administration. Taylor believes the com mittee’s recommendations can be put into effect by 1970 or 1971 with no added pressure to the taxpayers of the area. This pro gram may be financed by money that will be saved due to the re organization of the tax assessors 1 Jfice and due to the normal grow th of the county. Taylor pointed out that Joanna, Cross Hill, Gray Court, Clinton, and Laurens al ready have operative fire equip ment that could be used to aug ment this county-wide system when it is put into effect. In order to make the ruralfirepro- tection program operative, a loan or grant must be obtained from the Farmer’s Home Administra tion to provede the funds that are needed in addition to those that are raised by the county. There would have to tie nine fire districts to coincide with the nine townships in the county. The plan that the county has been consid ering has already been put into effect in York and Newberry Counties, apparently very suc cessfully. Representative Taylor added, "If a district was willing to come in right now and willing to vote the necessary funds, I would lie in favor of lieginning the pro gram today.” HELD OVER BY POPULAR DEMAND SPECIAL!
