The four high schools in the Laurens District include Gray Court - Owings, Hickory Tavern, Laurens and Ford. Again, although this will affect only the Laurens School Dis trict, it must be voted on countywide. No. 3 School District 56— This amendment would allow School District 56 to increase its bonded indebtedness up to 35 per cent of the assessed value of the taxable property in the district. James VonHol- len, chairman of the School District 56 Board of Trustees, says the district does not have an immediate need for this limitation increase but that it could be needed in the future. He said he believes it would be more business-like to have the amendment voted on now rather than waiting until there is an immediate need for the limitation increase. The other constitutional a- mendments include requests from Charleston and Richland counties on one ballot and there is another large ballot for statewide constitutional a- mendments. Sample ballots appear on page 3-B in today’s Chronicle in an advertisement sponsored jointly by the Laurens County Democratic Party and Laurens County Republican Party.
