Allied Chemical May Write Off AGNS Investment Without Govt Support
The Allied Chemical Company chairman said the firm may abandon its 50 percent stake in Allied-General Nuclear Services unless the government funds or purchases the Barnwell spent fuel reprocessing facility. The plant has not received new funding since 1977 and has tied up 362 million dollars in the AGNS venture. Senate and House committees indicate potential continued support, with a decision expected by late summer, while Carter's 1977 ban remains a backdrop.

Early County Budget Exceeds Income Hovering Over Mill Tax
The preliminary Aiken County budget shows 2.7 million dollars in requests above anticipated income. If approved as is, a 33 mill tax increase would be required, says council chairman Carrol H. Warner who expects hours of meetings to shape a acceptable plan. The FY81-82 proposal totals about 9.5 million with 30-40 new employees since January, while the 80-81 budget stood around 8 million. Warner notes a tax rise can be avoided by trimming spending and cites four opposing council members. The panel plans to pare department requests over the next two weeks.
