Under the the fire calls would be channeled the communications center in the Enforcement Center, which is staffed times. However, council agreed to Teeter's proposal concerning communications system that could be by the telephone company.

Earlier in the meeting, council voted 4-1 to accept a bid from Pinkerton for $4.06 per hour per employee for providing security at civic center shows. Councilman Robert Corley dissented, saying the bid should go to Mann, who operates a security agency in Greenwood, instead of Pinkerton, which is based in Greenville and Columbia. Councilman Gene Pinson said the only other bid for the security job had come from Mann's agency, which had agreed to do the job for $6 per hour per employee.

Mann said he had "two gripes" with council accepting the bid from Pinkerton. First, he said the deadline for the bids to be opened was 11 a.m. on Dec. 28. He said his bid was the only one opened at the appointed time.

However, he said he was later informed that county officials had overlooked a bid from Pinkerton. During the council meeting, Gary Smoak, county director, said the bid from Pinkerton was overlooked because it had come in a plain envelope. Smoak opened the bids for the security job because Jones Buchanan, county purchasing agent, was on leave Dec. 28. Buchanan said this morning that Pinkerton's bid was postmarked Dec.

21, and was received beforethe Dec. 28 deadline. Mann also said council was saying there was almost a $2 difference in the bid he and Pinkerton submitted. However, he said he was infornwd by Buchanan last week that there was just "a small percentage of difference" in the two bids. In an executive session, and then afterwards for the press, Mann played a tape of the telephone confirming Buchanan had said Mann's bid was only slightly higher than Pinkerton's.

Mann said the gap between his bid and Pinkerton's bid was closed when council added in the transportation costs Pinkerton would charge for employees coming to Greenwood from Columbia, Greenville and Augusta. Since he operates a local company, Mann said he would not have to charge for transportation. However, Councilman Pinson said Pinkerton had agreed to hire 12 local men to work at the civic center, which would cut out the transportation costs. He said the civic center would rarely need more than 12 security guards. Buchanan said this morning he didn't think there were "any irregularities" surrounding the bids for the security project.

In other business, council agreed to accept the reimbursement method of providing unemployment compensation insurance for county employees, as opposed to the contribution method. Councilman Rpbert May said that under a new law, counties, instead of the federal government, must provide unemployment compensation. Under the reimbursement method, the county would have to just pay any unemployment claims that are submitted, May said. Under the contribution method, the county would have to set aside 2.7 percent of the first $6,000 of each em- Carter hits new low in the polls NEW YORK (AP) Public confidence in President Carter's ability to deal with the economy has hit a new low, according to a poll conducted by The New York Times and CBS News.
