A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF UNION STREET IN SPARTANBURG COUNTY FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH CEDAR SPRINGS ROAD TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH SOUTHPORT ROAD "SCHP PATROLMAN NORRIS NETTLES MEMORIAL HIGHWAY" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS STREET THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "SCHP PATROLMAN NORRIS NETTLES MEMORIAL HIGHWAY".

Whereas, on January 4, 1942, South Carolina Highway Patrolman Norris Nettles, a native of Colleton County, three year veteran of the Patrol, and son of a former Town of Yemassee Police Chief, was on duty in Spartanburg County when he was attacked by four assailants during a traffic stop; and

Whereas, during the attack, he was shot with his own weapon and taken to a local hospital by two citizens, but died a short time later; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to honor Patrolman Nettles by naming a road in Spartanburg County in his memory. 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 Union Street in Spartanburg County from its intersection with Cedar Springs Road to its intersection with Southport Road "SCHP Patrolman Norris Nettles Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this street that contain the words "SCHP Patrolman Norris Nettles Memorial Highway".

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