FROM PAGE 1) ers, Heath Copeland, former chairman of the Clinton Planning Commission, said, “This pro posed beltline or ‘ring road’ is to be a local road, as opposed to a by-pass. The Highway Depart ment wanted to draw in as close to the center of town as possible. This area already is very tight with traffic and the Highway De partment thought this area would be the key to the whole project.” Reese Young said, “It was stat ed earlier that business, civic, industrial and school leaders were contacted about this pro posal. No one ever contacted me and I'm one )f the people who are being asked to give up pro perty for this project. The ones who are in favor aren’t giving up any property . . .1 have been told by a Highway Department official that if a majority of the property owners along the route oppose the proposed route, it would be abandoned. I believe 100 per cent of the property owners disagree with this route. They see the need for a by-pass road but they disagree with this route. ” Tommy Hollis commented, “I support the idea generally of a circumventural road.. .However, much property has been in the hands of families for years and they have been called on again and again to give up property and rights-of-way for the community good and they have complied . . . But this is a community project and should be more of a com munity sacrifice and we shouldn’t have to ask just a few families to make all of the sacrifice. . .” Dr. M. A. Macdonald, presi dent of Thornwell, asked, “How many existing roads are located around Clinton which could be used for the purpose of a belt- line? How much congestion would be relieved by this proposal? How many trucks and how many cars would this alleviate from the downtown area?” Mr. Weathers said he could ob tain figures on traffic counts in the area. The Rev. J. C. Conoly, pastor of Hurricane Baptist Church, suggested that the Hurricane Road (Road 34) be used as a by pass road. He said, “As the city grows, this would serve as an excellent by-pass. All that needs to be done is to straighten the road in a few places and made widen it a bit and fix it up.” W. G. (Billy) King Jr. said “I support all of the objections to the present proposed location al though I am generally in favor of a by-pass for Clinton." John Bingham, executive di rector of the Clinton YMCA, was asked his opinion of the proposed route and he replied, “We agree with the need for this road. This proposal would split our pro perty and we certainly would pre- Thomas Announces (CONT. FROM PAGE 1) and is currently general man ager of Woodruff Broadcasters in Woodruff. He is a Mason, member of Hejaz Shrine Temple, mem ber of Laurens County Shrine Club, and president of the Wood ruff Shrine Club, member of the Jaycees, and has served in many other civic capacities. Mr. Thomas is married to the former Marion Walker of Lau rens and has one daughter, Shea, five years old. The family re sides at Number One Pleasant Drive, Laurens, and are mem bers of Central Methodist Church. In announcing, Mr. Thomas re flected his views for the need of a sound fiscal policy for the county and noted that the county council will in the future prepare the county supply bill. “During the first few years of operation, it will be necessary for the council to formulate po licies, set guide lines, and gener ally devise a system to be fol lowed by the county in the future. This will be, without question, the most important period for our council. The council needs a young, energetic businessman who has a knowledge of both general business and county busi ness coupled with new and youthful ideas. This individual must be willing and able to devote the time and effort required." + * * fer that it wouldn’t. Where it should be placed, we don’t know. It’s going to have to go through someone’s property and they pro bably won't like it but we’ll wait until the second hearing after we’ve seen a more definite pro posal.” Joe McDaniel Commented, “We have a terrible traffic problem downtown and it becomes worse all the time. . .1 believe a road farther out would do more toward solving our problems."
