Resignation of
Supervisor is
Announced
County Supervisor Harold B.
Hendrix announced Friday that
he would resign his elective of
fice on August 15, and Rep.
Walter Lake stated that legisla
tion would be introduced at the
next session of the General As
sembly to revamp the present
system of government for the
county.
Hendrix, who has served six
months of his third four-year
term, announced his plans to re
sign when the commissioners
approved an amendment to the
county supply bill Friday. The
amendment substitutes the new
office of purchasing agent for
the office of chairman of the
board of commissioners.
Hendrix argued that a chair
man of the board is needed to
assist the board. Rep. Lake said
he would not approve appoint
ment of a chairman becuase
the position is not an elective
office.
The House representative has
the authority to veto the entire
county supply bill.
Lake said meetings have been
held recently with officials of
municipalities in the county, civ
ic leaders and the resident sen
ator, Robert C. Lake, Jr., on a
proposal to revise the present
system of county government.
“We need a system of county
government that will work. The
present system is not workable,
Lake said.
Although the proposal is in
the preliminary stages, Lake
said he feels two additional com
missioners should be elected to
the board.
He said the proposed bill also
could designate the supervisor
as the chairman of the board
to preside at meetings of the
five-man commission. The two
commissioners presently on the
board, Curtis E. Shealy and Ben
F. Dawkins, would continue to
serve with two additional com
missioners to be elected next
year, he said.
Lake said other details of the
bill would be prepared prior to
January of next year.
Rep. Lake said he will ap
prove the 1969-70 supply bill if
it is presented to him by the
commissioners in its present
form with the amendment for
employment of a purchasing
agent at a salary of $1,680 an
nually.
The commission approved the
amendment by a two to one
vote. Hendrix cast the negative
vote. The new supply bill which
totals $542,834 and includes a
general eight per cent pay in
crease for county employes,
was approved Friday on final
reading by the commission.
Hendrix said that the 1966 act
establishing the local govern
ment system gives the commis
sion authority to appoint a board
chairman. The chairman would
not be a voting member.
Hendrix said that the an
nouncement of his retirement
August 15 was made on the ad
vice of his physician. He said
the vast amount of work placed
on the office of supervisor af
ter the change to local govern
ment also prompted his plans
