A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO DESIGNATE AND NAME A PORTION OF STATE HIGHWAY 20 IN ANDERSON COUNTY AS THE "ERNEST ALLEN BURRISS MEMORIAL HIGHWAY" AND TO INSTALL APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS.

Whereas, Mr. Earnest Allen Burriss was an employee of the South Carolina Department of Highways and Public Transportation from 1921 until his death in 1954; and

Whereas, while employed by the Department of Highways and Public Transportation, Mr. Burriss served with distinction as the Maintenance Supervisor in charge of the Belton District; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper that the portion of South Carolina Highway 20 in Anderson County from the City of Belton to the Earnest Allen Burriss Career Center be designated and named the "Ernest Allen Burriss Memorial Highway" as a lasting tribute to this distinguished South Carolinian. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly request the Department of Transportation to designate and name the portion of State Highway 20 in Anderson County described above in this resolution as the "Ernest Allen Burriss Memorial Highway" and to install appropriate markers or signs at places along the highway as the department considers advisable containing the words "Ernest Allen Burriss Highway".

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and to the family of Ernest Allen Burriss.
