COMMITTEE REPORT

May 21, 1997

H. 4138

Introduced by Reps. Carnell, Klauber, Parks, Stille, Stoddard, Wilder and McLeod

S. Printed 5/21/97--H.

Read the first time May 13, 1997.

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 4138), to request the Department of Transportation to name the bridge on U. S. Highway 25 over the Saluda River, etc., respectfully

That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:

RICHARD M. QUINN, JR., for Committee.

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME THE BRIDGE ON U. S. HIGHWAY 25 OVER THE SALUDA RIVER IN HONOR OF MR. WILLIAM T. JONES III, DISTINGUISHED ATTORNEY AND SOLICITOR OF THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT FOR THIRTY-TWO YEARS.

Whereas, the Honorable William T. Jones III is a distinguished member of the South Carolina Bar who graduated from the University of South Carolina Law School and was admitted into the practice of law in this State in 1949; and

Whereas, during his distinguished career, Mr. Jones has been a leading practicing attorney in Greenwood, a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives for four years, and solicitor of the Eighth Judicial Circuit for thirty-two years; and

Whereas, seldom has a public official contributed as much to the citizens of his community and State as has Bill Jones. He has earned the respect of litigants and lawyers alike for his resolute fairness, tremendous ability, and unquestioned integrity; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, believe it would be an appropriate honor for this truly outstanding South Carolinian if the four-lane bridge on U. S. Highway 25 over the Saluda River (as distinguished from Business Highway 25) were named the "William T. Jones III Bridge". 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 name the four-lane bridge on U. S. Highway 25 over the Saluda River (as distinguished from Business Highway 25) as the "William T. Jones III Bridge" and to install appropriate markers or signs at this bridge as the Department of Transportation considers appropriate.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to

the Department of Transportation and Mr. Jones.
