York Legislative Delegation to Meet
I'm Rock Hill Next Thursday.


Senator John r. Hart has called q
meeting Of the York county legisla-
tive delegation to be held in Rock
Hill Thursday morning, December 21.
The Rock Hill meeting is one Of two
annual meetings held by the delega-
ton, the other. being at York, to
give the citizens Of the county an
opportunity to express their views
OF matters affecting the welfare of
the county which are expected to
come up for consideration at the
|meeting Of the General Assembly a
few weeks later.
The nleeting of the delegation in
York probably will be held during
the first week in January.
Among other matters which likely
will be brought before the delegation
at both the Rock Hill and York
meetings Is the county road laws, in
cluding the law under which the
townships roads are worked. During
the campaign last August It was sug-
gested that the township law was not
proving as satisfactory as had been
that it might be the part of wisdom
to make some changes in it. For
Sc, eral years prior to 1921 each
township in the county selected q
road supervisor by popular vote.
This supervisor had control of the
townships road funds and was au-
thorized to employ an ovsrseer who
had immediate charge of the road
work. The plan did not appear en-
tirely satisfactory to all sections of
the county, however, and at the 1920
session OF the General Assembly the
supervisor plan was set aside and
instead three commissioners were
created for each township, these
commissioners to be appointed by the
governor on recommendation Of the
legislative delegation. Now there is
complaint that the new law is work
ing even less satisfactory in some
sections OF the county than the old
law. 1t remains to be seen whether
there will be sufficient demand for q
change in the law to warrant the del
egation in taking steps to that end.
Another matter which Is expected
to be called to the attention of the
delegation at the Rock Hill and York
meetings is the employment for an
other year OF the county demonstra-
tion agent and the woman's home
demonstration agent. York county
pays $1,000 for the salaries of the two
agents. $500 for the former md
$1,000 for the latter. Opposition is
said to have been expressed by. tax
payers to the employment Of either
