Note: The following open letter from Col. Tom Pope of the National Guard is in answer to a letter written by Mayor J. E. Wise man and published in the No vember 18th issue of The Sun. The correspondence deals with the refusal of the city council to con tribute $50 monthly toward upkeep expenses of the local National Guard armory.) December 3, 1952 The Honorable James E. Wiseman Mayor, City of Newberry Newberry, South Carolina Dear Jimmy: In October 1951, Major Hender son, Captain Moose and I appeared before Council on behalf of the four local National Guard units. We later read in the local news papers that Council was taking no action on our request until it was made in writing and I, there fore, wrote the City Manager on December 5, 1961, requesting the sum of $50.00 per month. This money was to be used for the maintenance and upkeep of the National Guard Armory and was not to inure to the benefit of any individual. I regret that it re quired a speech before the Rotary Club almost a year later to obtain a reply to our request but am glad that we at last know that we can expect no help of any kind from your administration. I do not intend to enter into any newspaper controversy with you or anyone else over this mat ter. As an elected public official you certainly have the right to use your own judgment as to whether to make an appropria tion after considering the rea sonableness of the request. Since you saw fit to give a copy of your letter of November 18 to both local newspapers, I am doing likewise. You state that it is not the uni form practice of the cities in this area to contribute to their local National Guard units. However, of the cities you mentioned, Laur ens, York, Rock Hill and Gaffney make contributions to their Nation al Guard units. Union does not make contributions but does ex empt members of the Guard from street duty. Chester and Green wood did not make contributions In 1951 but did in previous years. I frankly do not see what bearing the policy of other cities has on your decision but it certainly seems to me that if you want to follow the majority of the towns In this area you would make an ap propriation for the Newberry Na tional Guard units. You next state that “the audi tors for the City advised the Coun cil that such contributions could not be made, unless a special levy was approved by the people.” 1 do not intend to argue constitution al law with your auditors. I won der, however, how they differenti ate between the requested appro priation for the local Guard units and the following appropriations which are included in the City’s budget for the year 1952-1953: Civic League $ 380.00 Newberry College Watch man 480.00 Youth Center 250.00 Christmas Lights 500.00 Rest-room Attendant 494.00 Fair Grounds 1452.11 Rosemont Cemetery 12.00 West End Cemetery 300.00 Colored Rest-room 1080.00 Swimming Pool Watch man 866.00 Miscellaneous (not item ized 371.00 Upon checking with the City Clerk, I found that the miscel laneous unitemized appropriation for 1951-52 was $469.60 and the miscellaneous unitemized appropri ation for 1950-51 was $784.25. I do not know what these unitemiz ed appropriations were for but the amounts seem rather large not to be itemized. In past years the Newberry County Memorial Hospital receiv ed free water and lights from the City of Newberry. Your admini stration has refused to provide this much-needed assistance to our local hospital which is a haven for the sick and suffering of this community. As far as I know, the only non-profit community en terprises which have requested aid from the City and failed to get it are the Newberry County Me morial Hospital and the National Guard units. The hospital is dedi cated to the memory of those who paid the supreme sacrifice in form er wars and the National Guard is dedicated to the defense of this (continued on page two) ace and Mr. Wallace on E.
