be a way to get started right Special legislation to correct the things that need to be corrected can come later he explained Rep Albert Watson said "I be-lieve if the county needs $30000 to start I am willing to stand behind it and give it $30000 if needed I did not join in the resolution without standing behind you financially It would probably be an opportune time to work for a joint city and county planning he noted He said that there is no question that poor drainage results from poor planning and mismanagement on the part of the developer because we did not have any laws "Now it is our responsibility and I am willing to face up to it" he said "We do not have any laws but this will give us something to take care of the situation" Senator Spigner said Rep Rhea Haskell stressed the need for zoning and to keep people from building in certain areas eventually our responsibility and we have got to face he said Board Commissioners present included in addition to Supervisor Talbert

books Mrs Fitzgerald said the request came from the Board of Commissioners and Mr Talbert "Senator Spigner asked me to organize the committee and to make the study I was instructed to forth a steering committee of five members which came up with this recommendation that was approved by the Suburban Committee she said The recommendation they came up with she said was to request the county governing body to appoint a County Danning Commission as authorized by state law Senator Spigner said he expanded the original request to include these other problems about which something needs to be done The original request from the commissioners was for authority to acquire right-of-way to install storm drainage Calling attention to the proposed building permits and other matters to come under the

this first official election here in 82 years The word at election headquarters was that there would he no counting today and that the job might not be resumed until Friday In the unofficial count some 24000 ballots had been tabulated Delay of the count was attributed to a complicated Democratic ballot and the inexperience of poll workers A Richland County Planning Commission to promote orderly development of the county was proposed yesterday by the Richland County cfclrgation The delegation recommended that the COunty Board of Commissioner appoint a County Planning Commission and to exercise such other rights given to the commissioners by law as would he appropriate in the best interests of the county and its citizens The delegation made its recommendations to the County Board of Commissioners at a joint meeting of the delegation and the commissioners In the County Court House Laney Talbert county supervisor said the commissioners would consider the recommendations He indicated it may be sometime before a decision is reached A discussion of the problem of water drainage which was emphasized by the downpour last Monday occupied much of the approximately one-hour session It was brought out in the meeting that the County Planning Commission among other things would have authority to acquire right-of-way along a street through private projerty on which storm drainage facilities could be installed TTie board also would coordinate development projects each developer to install his own storm drainage facilities in coordination with adjoining projects At the present time the county provides drainage along a road way but does not have authority to acquire right-of-way across private property to Install drainage facilities as an outlet from a flooded area Sen A Fletcher Spigner Jr who presided explained that the delegation had recommended the appointment of a Planning Commission as the answer to a request from Mr Talbert for a law to authorize the board of commissioners to acquire right-of-way through private property to install storm drainage facilities A letter to Mr Talbert from the i delegation said an extension and thorough study had been made by a special subcommittee of the delegation which unanimously recommended the proposed County Planning Commission The delegation at an official meeting un- animously passed a motion to make the recommendation to the Board of Commissioners' according to the letter The sub-committee of the delegation known as the Suburban Planning Committee was composed of delegation members and private citizens with Martha Fitzgerald as chairman Referring to the proposed County Commission the letter said "The need for such action is apparent and long overdue The delegation appreciates the cooperation which you have given us in our research We further appreciate your pointing up to us some of our great needs and problems confronting the county at the present time" V- Senator Spigner explained that the problem has become acute and will become more and more acute if we do something about It "We have had the experience of a developer coming in and selling lots on a bottom and then the area becomes flooded by he said Then the problem of storm drainage falls back on the county he noted "By no means are we directing the County Commissioners We regard the board as the executive of the county It will be your decision and yours only" he told the commissioners He discussed four proposed special bills which he explained are not necessary since there are statewide bills that apply measures relate to avoiding duplication of names of streets provides for building permits require property owners to give 50 feet of right-of-way for construction of storm drainage and the filing of plats Senator Spigner emphasized the need for proper drainage "so that people will be satisfied with the property they buy" "We are looking for orderly ex GROTON Conn May 2 The Nautilus first atomic
