The Re solution will be seen elsewhere in this issue. Following that, Council got on to more routine business as fol lows: Approved an additional $5,- 166.80 to be paid to Ea ^le Con struction Company for c nstruct- ion of Marion Davis Park dam; Purchased a Burrough’s E- 6000 'Icctronic Accounting sys- tei at a cost of $79,206.97; approved use of a ten inch ewer line to the Bi-Lo Store on 176 Bypass rather than the eight inch line for which Bi-Lo is paying. The cost to the city will be approximately $2,000. Approved tax abatements for Central Soya and for the Ken dall Company for recent im provements to a local plant. Council approved the execu tion of a contract between the city and the State of South Caro lina under which Pete Driggers, a city employee, will travel throughout the state conducting training programs for sewer plant operators. The program is being initiated by the state in conjunction with new state requirements for certification of all sewer plant operators with in the state by January 1971. Mr. Driggers will remain on the city payroll and will be paid salary and expenses by the city, all of which will be reimbursed by the state. Councilman Kinard made a motion to pare sewer service charges in view of the fact that the City is receiving more mon ey in property taxes than it ori ginally anticipated. Only Coun- cilmen Kinard and Partain vot ed in favor of the motion, while other members of council adopt ed a “wait and see” attitude as to future expenses of city operation. In justifying the expenditure for the accounting system, City Manager K. W. Riebe told the Council: “This large expenditure of money over a three-year period cannot be approved without pro per justification. However, I am convinced that this expenditure is not only needed at this time, but that it will, now and in the years to come, save this city more dollars than it will cost. Let me list some of the reasons that I feel justify our request. “We are presently paying ap proximately $300 per month for the leasing of one machine. If the system is installed this cost would be eliminated at a sav ings of approximately $3,600 a year. “Although we do not predict a reduction of personnel, we know that no additional person nel will be required to operate the Finance Department. We believe that some personnel may be used in other areas within the city work force. The sav ings of one person would result in a saving of approximately $5,000 or more, including fringe benefits annually. “The City of Newberry’s In ventory and Supplies is estimat ed to run approximately $80,000 per month. By programming this inventory into the new sys tem, we feel that this inven tory cari be greatly reduced. “Our Utility System has near ly doubled in the amount of services sold. The new system will allow us to program im portant studies involving rates and loads. “Within the next year or two Newberry’s budget will exceed two million dollars annually. The system that is being re commended will provide infor mation concerning all of these funds so that sound manage ment decisions can be made in the handling of investments. “Other governmental agencies are always asking for detailed reports concerning municipal operations. Many of these re ports take days to compile. With the new system these re ports can be compiled in min utes. “This system was developed in the computer age to assist small cities to keep abreast of the changes that are taking place throughout this country. We need to keep pace.” ON DISTINGUISHED SERVICE LIST Cadet Lambert Ed Chandler, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. E.
