be enough funds to complete the en-
tire system.
Mr.. Strauss took the position that
the policy Of pro rating the funds
should be adopted, as it was the fair
est to all sections.
Mr.. Jennings took the position that
the agreement framed by the Com,
mission and legislative delegation
eliminated this feature Of the. discus
sion in that it provided for the con-
structfon Of the entire system as ORR
ginaily outlined. -
There was a feeling however, that
1.-The meeting should declare its atti-
tude on this phase of. the matter and
put in definite terms the feeling. that
available funds should he used for the
construction Of roads pro rata in ac-
! cordance with length of the respec-
( tive roads included in the proposed
system. The following resolution, Of
fered by Mr.. Strauss, was adopted as
an amendment to the agreement
adopted by the. Permanent Highway
Commission and signed by the legislae
tive delegation:
/ Il It is moved that the, foregoing ac-
tionsof the Sumter County Permanent
Road Comm ission and Of the delega-
ton, as coz aimed In this paper. be
and the san.e is approved.
Resolved that any available funds.
whether from bond issue or derived
under legislative action, be pro rated
on the ten roads. except that State
Highway and Federal aid. funds are
to be devoted only to the roads for
which same are now available.
Resolved, That in our opinion the
mileage of roads to be built should, be-
pro rated with respect to the length OF
the road.
At the suggestion of Mr. J. Fl. Cliff
ton motion was adopted that the
Permanent Highway Commission be
increased by two members, one to- be
selected by Rafting Creek and the 9TH
er by Shiloh. these added, members to
act with the original commission, with
equal rights an voice and that the
election of these two n,embers be val
idatep by legislative enactment at the
next session of the legislature.
Rafting Creek named Mr. E. Rem
bert and Shiloh named Mr.. 1. NJ. Tru-
luck.
The selection of the additional
members Of the Highway Commission
practically concluded the meeting, bus
before adjournment the representa-
tives of Rafting Creek and Shiloh
were requested to state whether there
were any further suggestions that
they would offer, and if they were sat
isfed' with the policy outlined by the.
Commission. A rising vote was call
ed for as to remaining in Sumter
county or annexing to Kershaw. Esr-

voted to remain in Sumter county.

This agreement was satisfactory to
the Commission and should be salts

of the county and he moved that it be
endorsed by the meeting.
fThe agreement, as signed. did not
provide for. the construction OF the
road through Shiloh to the Hudson
Bridge on the Florence county line,

amendment be inserted, and all mem
