To th#1* foreman of tbe (J mud Jury
Kershaw County and to tho Mem.
Imts i>f (luii body.
Cttuuleu, H. 15.
I >.'iu Sirs: The Board of (Xntnty
Commissioner* of Kershaw County de
sire* to vnorofM to n>?' Grand Jury ??f
Kershaw County Its appreciation of
tbe Interest shown by the Grand Jury
4a tbo affairs of the County hk Jndt
iu Ha report to the Circuit Court
of Kershaw County at life fall 1021
torm ; and the Heard of County Com
missioners will stye attention to tbe
rocouimnmlwtiouH of tho Urand Jury
ah soon as iM>ssible. and will tuke such
action thereon as may be necessary.
Ah to the matter of tbe audit of tbo
ferry fund that tbe (J raud Jury seems
to tbiuk inadvisable this Hoard would
aay, that the Act of tbe legislature
.<11*20 page 1621 > require* that a re
i?ort of this fund for tbe yearn 1016,
J917, 1018. 1H1U and 1020 bo made by
the County Commissioners and filed
with tbe County Treasurer. As the
^predecessors of this Board did not see
fit to comply with tbls act it became
incumbent upon tbls Board to do ho,
and jthis Board, on account of tbe con
dition of the records of this fund,
oould uot comply with tho law with*
out having au audit made.
As to the niuouut paid the .County
Kngineer, this Board would say that
the Kii;: in' vi Is {paid Two Thousand
Dollars by the County out of tbe
County appropriation a? provided by
law, ami tho other money he receives
is paid on approval of the State High
way Department out of the two mill
levy made for that Popart meat. That
tbo State Highway road eontr s pro
vide ten per Cent of the an.otint of
these contracts for Engineer's fees and
rfor costs, and thai the necessary as
sistant engineers are paid out of this
provision, ami upon the approval of
tin* Stale Highway Department.
As to the use of the funds arising
from (he operation of the bridge over
<he Watiyee ltiver. this board would
tiny that the Grand Jury is mistaken
in supjK)sing that this fund is Used
a* general County funds. The Aets
?if tlie Legislature ( ll>i!l page 1521)
requires that nny balance of the ferry
and bridge funds for the years 1010.
1017, 101K, and 1919 and 11)20 be used
for road purposes; und the Acts of
IxVglsKature authorizing the present
bridge bonds (1017 page 503) direets
that the funds arising from the pre
sent bridge be applied to the payment
of interest coupons on the bonds, to
3 sufficient sinking fund to take care
f the bonds when due", and that any
surplus "may be applicable to the
maintenance, repair, and improvement
of the bridge, structures, and approach*
-<>8. or u|K>u the roads and bridges of
the County generally," and this Board
after j?aying interest on the bonds, and
'after setting aside in the Sinking Fund
a sufficient sum as an annrial appro
liriatlon for this purtpose to take care
of these bonds at maturity, is using
the balance of tho income from the
bridge upon the road worlc of the
County as provided by law.
Very respectfully.
