A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF BOULEVARD STREET IN THE CITY OF ORANGEBURG FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 21 TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 33 "WEBBER BOULEVARD" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS PORTION OF HIGHWAY THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "WEBBER BOULEVARD".

Whereas, the late Professor Paul R. Webber, Jr. was born in the Town of Gadsden in 1911 and died in 1991; and

Whereas, his wife Dr. Clemmie E. Webber was born in the Town of St. Matthews in 1913; and

Whereas, the Webbers were married in 1935 and together raised three children; and

Whereas, Paul Webber was a highly regarded resident of Orangeburg who served as an outstanding Professor of Economics and assistant football coach at South Carolina State University for many years; and

Whereas, Dr. Clemmie E. Webber has distinguished herself in the Orangeburg community as an outstanding professor at South Carolina State University and as an accomplished humanitarian through her involvement in a number of civic organizations; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper to honor the memory of Professor Paul R. Webber, Jr. and recognize Dr. Clemmie E. Webber for her past and present works in the Orangeburg community by having a portion of Boulevard Street in the City of Orangeburg named for this exceptional couple. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, request that the Department of Transportation name the portion of Boulevard Street in the City of Orangeburg from its intersection with United States Highway 21 to its intersection with South Carolina Highway 33 "Webber Boulevard" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway that contain the words "Webber Boulevard".

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
