RONALD N. FLEMING, for Committee.

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME THE PORTION OF U.S. HIGHWAY 176 FROM S.C. 202 TO S.C. 213 IN NEWBERRY COUNTY AS THE "WILLIAM BLEASE LATTIMORE, SR. MEMORIAL HIGHWAY".

Whereas, William Blease Lattimore, Sr., was born in York County on August 6, 1912, the son of William Carson and Mabel Beard Lattimore, was the husband of Ruth S. Lattimore, and was a resident of Richland County when he died September 29, 1984; and

Whereas, Mr. Lattimore came from a family of highway construction workers and at the age of twelve, he went to work with his father in road construction carrying water for mules; and

Whereas, he dedicated the majority of the next fifty years to building and improving roads and highways in South Carolina; and

Whereas, Mr. Lattimore's career in road construction included being superintendent of two sections of Interstate 20 in Lexington County, two sections of Interstate 26, two sections of Interstate 85, one section of Interstate 95, and numerous main and secondary roads throughout the State; and

Whereas, during his tenure as construction superintendent the name "Lattimore" was synonymous with road construction in South Carolina; and

Whereas, Mr. Lattimore was the superintendent for Suber Construction Company in 1948 for widening and relocating this particular section of U.S. Highway 176; and

Whereas, Mr. Lattimore was a hardworking, well-respected supervisor and a man of talent, leadership, and integrity who was committed to doing the best job possible; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper that the work and service to which Mr. William Blease Lattimore dedicated his life be recognized by naming a portion of U.S. Highway 176 as the "William Blease Lattimore, Sr. Memorial Highway". Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation designate and name the portion of U.S. Highway 176 from S.C. 202 to S.C. 213 in Newberry County as the "William Blease Lattimore, Sr. Memorial Highway" and install appropriate markers or signs at places along the highway as the department considers advisable containing the words "William Blease Lattimore, Sr. Memorial Highway".

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the family of Mr. William Blease Lattimore, Sr., c/o Ms. Sebrena B. Lattimore, 23 Prices Court, Columbia, South Carolina, 29212.
