end of each year to Internal Re-
wenue and to the employee as to
the amount of salary earned and
withheld. 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.)

One of the publicly pwwd national forost
protected and managed by the Forest Service, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. Such national forest watersheds are
on the headwaters of many large river systems including
the Colorado, Columbia, Rio£
Grande, Missouri, Arkansas, and
Ohio. They are a major source of
water for over 20,000,000 people
and for more than 600 power de
velopments including Hoover
Dam. Water originating in the
national forests irrigates an area
greater in size than the states of
New Hampshire, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Delaware com
bined. Thousands of industrial
plants are dependent on them for
their water supplies and water
shed protection gets first consid
eration in all plant for national
forest management
Water it pricelett, and In
creased demands for water and
other natural resources are
bound to put an even greater pros*
sure on your national forests in
the years ahead. So the Forest
Service, which is observing its
Golden Anniversary this year,
urges people everywhere to gain
a better understanding of their
dependence upon protection of
watersheds, the source of their
water supplies.
