Insurance collec- ^.tions are sent to the insurance company monthly, and all claims j«gainst the company pmst he ap proved by the Supervisor’s office, ■which then receives the check for ■transmittal to the employee. The total cost for operating the chain gang during the past year wras $24,882.43. Of this amount, *17 ,i94.08 was spent for salaries; ^#3,049.17 for food, $2,602.51 for clothing and. $1,292.72 for medical expense. Mr. Lominick stated that the medical expense the past year was more than for any two previous years combined. This was dae largely to the number of hos pital and surgical cases. A county physician is hired on a flat annual lee and serves the ordinary needs of inmates of the chain gang, the Jail and those in the county home, number of prisoners on the averages about 40 through- oat the year. In addition to the amount spent for food, much of tbe food used by the gang is rais ed on the county farm. The total cost for operating the county home during the past year, according to the records in the supervisor’s office, was $10,- 843.47. This included $3,600 for superintendent and practical nurse salaries; $1,978.77 for food, $1,181.02 for fertilizer for the county farm, and $186.36. Other expenses were electric bills, re pairs, upkeep and miscellaneous. The number of persons at the county home averages ten throughout the year. The county spent last year $5,- 818.09 for books, stationery, pos tage, printing and advertising, binding books and records. This includes all advertising except publication of the Supervisor’s quarterly report. The county insures all employ ees of the county, all school teach ers and school employees with the Workmen’s ompensation Com mission. This insurance cost $3,- 000 last year. Court expenses for the last fis cal year amounted to $4,964.05, and items included are jury pay bills for the circuit court, magis trate’s jury, coroner’s Jury, wit ness fees, and miscellaneous trav el for the sheriff’s office in con nection with business of the court. Prisoners at the city jail,! most of whom are awaiting trial, last year cost the county $6,406.\5 at the rate of 85 cents per day per prisoner for food. These are among the main ex- j penses disbursed by the Supervi- I sor’s office. One of the biggest Hems, however, is road mainten ance. The road crew payroll amounted to $47,626.37 last year, and the total money spent for ] maintenance of roads, including the payroll, was $86,575.69. Other items for which monej^ was disbursed include $7,500 to the Newberry-Saluda and Whit mire libraries; $854.68 for post! mortem and lunacy and edroner’sj inquest; $16,754.33 for repair and maintenance of public buildings, the old Court House, new Court house, county home and jail; and a number of other miscellaneous items. The county budget is set each year prior to the beginning oi the fiscal ybar on July 1 by the county delegation, with the help and cooperation of the County Board of Commissioners. A new set of books is made up by the clerle for each year; one, a con trol bok, listing the budget by item, and a distribution book, which breaks down each detail of all materials purchased by the county. From this book can be detected the exact cost of all op erations of the county. Payrolls must also be brought up to date for the current year. The supervisor’s clerk keeps a record of all chain gang prison ers, listing name, race, sex, of fense, by whom committed, wheth er magistrate or circuit court, term of sentence, date of commit tal, date to be released, and rec ord of time off for good behavior. Records have been kept on em ployees retirement since the sys tem went into effect in 1946. Before claims are approved by the Board! of Commissioners, the clerk sees that all invoices are properly prepared and notarized, and insures that money is avail able in the proper fund for pay ment of the claim. Invonces for everything purchased by the coun ty for the past eight years are now on file in the Supervisor’s office. The Board takes bids on all ma jor items to be purchased for the county, sudh as machinery, gas, oil, greases, lumber. On smaller items, the usual procedure Is to price an item at several places and buy it where it may be ob tained at less cost to the taxpay ers. Each three months, mater ials to be bought are advertised and bids received by the Commis sioners. “The records of the Supervisor’s office are always open to the tax payers,” said Supervisor Shealy. “We are happy to have the public come inspect the records if they wish to know where, when or what the county bought, from whom it was purchased and how much was paid for any item.” (EM. Note: A further look into the highway maintenance pro gram of the county, and the coun ty home will be described in fu ture issues of The Sun.)
