Zoning Panel Drops Traffic Flow Section in Ordinance
The Ad Hoc Zoning Committee of Aiken County voted eight to nothing to delete a clause tying commercial and residential growth to the county road network. The move drew support from members who said the Highway Department should determine road impact, not county rules. The panel noted the Highway Department generally acts only after development and roads are not built to meet county standards. Eleanor Peeler of Beech Island voiced concern that fringe areas like her community are not covered by the zoning plan.

Jackson Mayor Mason J. Rollo reports thieves escaped with about 400 in petty cash from town and water commission containers.
