TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 9 IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH EAST CATO STREET TO AIRPORT ROAD "SCHP PATROLMAN H. M. SMITH MEMORIAL HIGHWAY" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS PORTION OF HIGHWAY THAT CONTAIN THIS DESIGNATION.
Whereas, on September 23, 1940, Patrolman H. M. Smith was on patrol in Chesterfield County when around 12:45 A. M. he was killed instantly when his motorcycle crashed into a tree one-half mile from the Pageland town limits along South Carolina Highway 9; and
Whereas, he was a kind, courteous, and conscientious individual who diligently performed his duties as a patrolman and made the ultimate sacrifice while in the line of duty; and
Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to name a portion of South Carolina Highway 9 in Chesterfield County in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the portion of South Carolina Highway 9 in Chesterfield County from its intersection with East Cato Street to Airport Road "SCHP Patrolman H. M. Smith Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway that contain this designation.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
