THE NEWBERRY SUN
THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1955
Look At The Record!
Listed below are some of the improvements that have
been accomplished during my five and one-half years as your
mayor. They could not have been done, had it not been for
the full cooperation of all six councilmen, the city manager,
the heads of each of the city departments, and all city em
ployees. No one person is responsible for these improve
ments; they were accomplished by getting the city officials
and employees together in an effort to determine what was
best for the city and for the i>eople who live in Newberry.
Improvements
Electrical extensions and improvements
to adequately service our commercial.
Industrial and residential areas.
Corrections and improvements to
storm drainage in the business and
residential areas.
Purchasing and paving of off-street
parking lots for the convenience of
the public.
The purchase of adequate trucks for
street repairs and garbage removal
from residential and business districts.
This has made it possible to collect
garbage and trash from residential
areas twice each week and from busi
ness areas once each day.
The establishment of a city-wide
recreation program, including the pur
chase of playground equipment, and
repairs and improvements to the city
swimming pool and the city parks.
The installation and operation of a
natural gas system.
Installation of new traffic controls.
Water and sanitary sewer exten
sions to serve all new buildings within
the city limits.
Regulation of parking and traffic in
the business district relieving much of
the former traffic congestion. /
Paving of many dirt streets and re
surfacing of many x of the old paved
streets.
The building and operation of a sani
tary garbage fill for the purpose of
disposing of the city’s garbage. This
has relieved many citizens of our city
and adjoining areas from the odors
caused by the burning of trash and
garbage which was formerly done.
The operation of a rest room for
colored women.
The erection of a new garage and
storage facilities for city equipment.
The erection of a new white-way
system for our business district.
Installation of radio equipment for
the Police Department.
How Department Heads See Affairs Of City Run:
W. C. Wallace, Clerk and Treasurer:
“In my opinion, the City of Newber
ry is operated in an efficient and eco
nomical manner. And this opinion is
substantiated by the comment on Ac
countant’s Report of March 31, 1955,
which is as follows: ‘The financial
position of the City of Newberry Is
very satisfactory. The City officials
and employees are performing £P out
standing service in the handling of the
City’s affairs. The financial records
are very adequate and are very accur
ately maintained.’ Signed E. L. McGow
an, CPA.
“The tax levy of the City of Newber
ry is to the best of my knowledge the
lowest of any- City of comparable size
in South Carolina. I believe that the
City of Newberry gives more and bet
ter service per tax dollar than any
other city in the State.”
Sam Beam, Fire Chief:
“I feel that the equipment of New
berry’s Fire Department is«fn line with
that of towns of similar size. I also
feel that the present equipment is ade
quate to protect property in the city
limits of Newberry. The Fire Depart
ment has always had the cooperation
of other agencies of the city when
needed. As a whole, I think the New
berry Fire Department is better equip
ped and can handle fires and emergen
cies better than it could five years
ago."
program. I believe that in the years to
come Newberry will have one of the
finest recreation programs in the south
• and one of which the citizens of New
berry will be proud.”
Bryan Livingston, Supt. Street Dept.:
“In my opinion the people of the City
of Newberry are receiving from the
street and garbage department the
best service they have had during my
30-odd years with the city. The mayor
and city, council and other officials of
the city have furnished the necessary
' funds to carry out the policies set by
the Council to serve the people. The
equipment is in the best condition that
it has been in during my employment.
In years prior to 1949 each department ’
more or less dperated separately from
other city organizations; for the past
five years, the policy has been that
when one department needs equipment
or help from other departments, we
have complete cooperation. It is a
pleasure for me to give this informa
tion.”
Colie L. Dowd, Chief of Police:
“As head of the Newberry law en
forcement forces, I feel that the New
berry Police Department is doing as
good a job for the citizens of Newberry
now as it did five years ago. We have
ample law enforcement equipment. The
rate of crime has been reduced during
the time I have been in this office.”
G. H. Connelly, Supt. Joint Utilities:
....“In my opinion, the equipment and
lines of the electrical system in New
berry are resonably adequate. Electri
cal service has been greatly expanded
during the past five years*.” , „
Gerald O. Shealy, Filter Plant Mgr.:
“I feel that the water filter plant
renders necessary services to the citi
zens of Newberry. We have not cur
tailed services. We feel that we have
above the average in towns about tl^p
same size. Every three months*! send
a bottle of water from the distribution
system to the Parker Laboratories in
Charleston. The latest report received
is indicative of reports of the past five
years: ‘Analysis indicates water to be
of good quality and free from contami
nation.”
Gordon Goodman, Recreation Director:
“It is my firm and honest opinion that
the recreation set-up in the City of
Newberry is off to a good start and
that it is doing the job that it was
created to do, and will do a still better
job when the people of Newberry see
how forthnate they are to have the
facilities they have and begin tp use
them to their fullest extent. The pro
gram in Newberry is new and many
things can be added that will make it
still a bigger and better program, but.
this will take time. In my few years
in the field of recreation, I think that
Newberry can hold its own in compari
son to the program in the other cities
of its size or larger, in the amount of
time Newberry has had to develop its
These are some of the improvements which have been gradually ^brought
about since January 1, 1950, but are not all. Other things which will benefit
Newberry have been planned. For instance, work has already been started to
increase our water supply to three million gallons a day which will serve new
industries and thereby bring about an increase in population and more payrolls
for Newberry and vicinity.
