A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 52 IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH S-494 (JUNIPER/MACEDONIA CHURCH ROAD) TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 1 "PATROLMAN LIDE LAWSON RHODES MEMORIAL HIGHWAY" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS HIGHWAY THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "PATROLMAN LIDE LAWSON RHODES MEMORIAL HIGHWAY".

Whereas, South Carolina Highway Patrolman Lide Lawson Rhodes died in a tragic high-speed motorcycle chase along United States Highway 52 in Chesterfield County on July 13, 1938; and

Whereas, he was a native of Darlington County and twenty-one years old at the time of his death; and

Whereas, Patrolman Rhodes was a member of the South Carolina Highway Patrol for approximately two years prior to his death; and

Whereas, he was survived by his parents, two siblings, and a beloved fiancée; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper to remember the heroic acts of this son of South Carolina who made the ultimate sacrifice while in the line of duty by naming a portion of United States Highway 52 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 United States Highway 52 in Chesterfield County from its intersection with S-494 (Juniper/Macedonia Church Road) to its intersection with United States Highway 1 "Patrolman Lide Lawson Rhodes Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this highway that contain the words "Patrolman Lide Lawson Rhodes Memorial Highway".

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