Tbelma Foster Gulledge, died 1 Tuesday at Memorial Hosp Hospital after sudden il lness. Born in Bowline during the council meeting, council voted on the allocation of $33,100 in revenue sharing funds, accumulated from cost under runs in the 1978-79 budget. No members of the community attended the meeting. Funds were allocated as follows: additional paving, street lights, jail renovations, three additional green boxes, ordinance codification, $500; elephant vacuum (for cleaning litter off the square), asphalt spreader, personnel costs, $3,988 A surplus of $2,495 will be carried over into next year's budget. The personnel item will pay the salaries of seven employees during the months of September and October, after their funding under the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act will be terminated.

No decision has been made on which of these employees the city will continue to fund after the beginning of the next fiscal year, which starts in November, the city manager said. Before the public hearing, council was approached by representatives of the Abbeville Rescue Squad, who requested city The figures. Budds said, were hastily arrived upon. He said the engineers study was "insufficient," having been prepared from a similar study requested two years ago, with no allowance for Inflation and the expansion of city offices. He added "there is no reason why it would not be legal" to make the move, "as long as you insure adequate funding" is available for th care of the Opera House.

Budds said the city would be better served by adding to the new municipal complex, for its "visibility and accessibility." He added "looking at the budget, the investment may be prohibitive," and assured council "there is no problem of the building collapsing on us." The new computer system will, in any case, be delivered to the Opera House June 22, he said. Some councilmen had expressed concern over the safety of the system in the aging building, which has no alarm system linking it to the fire station. Council agreed to install the system in the Opera House, but voted also to study further the cost of moving city operations. At Tuesday night's public bearing, held JOHN R. LONGSHORE JR.

A proposed charge schedule snowed that a charge of $20 for any call within Abbeville County, a charge of $30 for any call to Greenwood County and a $60 charge for calls to Columbia would be instituted by the squad if they fail to receive city support.

William Howard Smith of Greenville; a daughter. Frances Smith of Mauldin: two stepsons, Jack Hunter of Easley and Cordell Hunter of Tanzania, East shifts. First shift dispatching is done mostly by the sheriff's secretary, Cann said. City Councilman Eugene Smith said at a joint meeting between city and county councils February 23, the two bodies agreed to eliminate duplication of services "in as many places as possible." Smith pointed to dispatching as one place the city and the county could cooperate to save the taxpayers money. "The county had to fund two CETA (Comprehensive Employment and Training Act) positions" in the sheriff 's department for this coming fiscal year.

Smith said, which contributed to the millage increase. "If the sheriff didn't have to do 24 hour dispatching he wouldn't have needed those men," he said. So far communication between city and county officials has not altered the situation. Sheriff Cann said cities, such as Spartanburg, who have tried centralized dispatching "have been complaining about it." Ca nn said even if the county is relieved of dispatching duty, it will "still have the same (number) of personnel out there -we're running short as it is on deputies." ABBEVILLE Efforts of the City of Abbeville to consolidate city and county dispatching duties have run into problems. The city has extended an offer to the county sheriff's department, rural fire departments and the county rescue service to provide dispatching service for these agencies.

City Manager Jim Budds sard. A dispatcher is presently required to be on duty 24-hours a day at the new municipal complex. The city offered the services to the county in lieu of payment for prison accomodations, which the county now provides for city prisoners. The county has handled all city prisoners since the city jail was closed two years ago, at a cost to the county of approximately $2,500 a year. Budds said.

However, Abbeville County Sheriff Sam C'ann says the arrangement "won't work." "One person cannot handle both the city and the county dispatching," he said. "Sometimes one of our dispatchers can't handle" just the county calls alone, he added. Budds said the centralized dispatching could save the county a year or the salaries of two full-time sheriff's deputiesdispatchers for second and third Mrs. Abbie Carter Guy, 89, wife of the late W.H.
