Home Rule Bill Moving Slowly COLUMBIA (AP) A home rule implementation bill is moving gradually toward the Senate door, but its progress is being impeded by a thick stack of amendments that must be debated and adopted, debated and defeated or debated and torn up. The bill, up for final reading in the Senate, underwent a rather severe change Tuesday, when it was amended to allow the people in a municipality to hold a referendum to determine whether a local ordinance should be knocked off the books. Sen. J. Verne Smith, D- Greenville, who sponsored the amendment, said, "This is what I consider true home rule.
It is a safeguard for the people themselves." The proposal would allow a referendum to be held on a city ordinance, provided a petition asking for the vote was signed by at least 15 per cent of the area's registered voters. Sen. John Drummond, D- Greenwood, who objected to the change, said, "You can always find 15 per cent of the people in any municipality who disagree with. a particular ordinance. The situation would be chaotic." Nevertheless, the amendment was adopted on a voice vote.
