SE 1 1 1 1 SE Index-Journal, Greenwood, 8.C., Landfill fees (Continued from page 1) "And that's not counting operating costs, either," Haynie said. "That's one trench, which may last three to five years. With these costs, we're going to need about $1 million a year and accrue i it and have it on hand so we won't have to borrow the next time we have to (build a trench)." The county will have to borrow about $3 million to help construct the first trench, Haynie said. During the hearing, residents raised a number of issues about the fees. Dan Richardson, a former Republican County Council candidate, questioned the equity of the fees.

He suggested that the fees be calculated according to the assessed value of a home, the same way millage is. Haynie said the county had considered that, but decided that levying a uniform fee would make clearer to residents the large costs involved in waste disposal. Another resident, Marvin Boatwright, questioned June 7, 1989 Chinese (Continued from page 1) Six people manning a barricade on rails near the Shanghai station died Tuesday when they were hit by a train unable to stop, a Chinese source said. Angry crowds set the train ablaze. In Beijing, troops today shot a and killed three people, a Chinese witness said.

"I'm going home to Hunan. I'm afraid for my life in Beijing," said a 25- year-old construction worker at the train station. The political situation grew more confusing rising fortunes of Qiao Shi, shadowy figure contoday, with an official media la report indicating the sidered the Communist Party's law-and-order chief. None of China's leaders have been seen since Premier Li Peng appeared on television on May 25, five days after declaring martial law in Beijing. Li and senior leader Deng Xiaoping are believed behind the crackdown.

The Bush administration says the situation is so chaotic in the world's most populous country that it can't tell who is in charge, and that it appeared likely China's top leaders have left Beijing. Major convoys of troops roared up and down Beijing's main streets throughout the day, with a group of nine armored vehicles including tanks and nearly 50 trucks heading east just before 11 p.m. Thousands of soldiers traveling the same route from central Tiananmen Square this morning chanted, "We love the people, we love the capital" Foley. (Continued from page 1) comments today continued a theme he pressed on the House upon taking the speaker's gavel Tuesday. "We cannot tolerate the continuance of the current distrust and suspicion and expect to fulfill public's expectation," said.

Foley's words were 'meant to sooth a House shaken by an extraordinary upheaval in the Democratic ranks, with two of the three top party officers exiting because of questions about their personal finances. Wright, D-Texas, resigned after the House ethics committee charged him with violating House rules on outside income, and the No. 3 Democrat, Majority Whip Tony Coelho of California, is stepping down to avoid inquiry into a junk bond deal. The Democrats plan to meet next week to fill Foley's old post of majority leader and the whip's job. Republicans have moved quickly to take advantage of the Democratic turmoil, attacking Foley and telling Democrats they can't run away from the ethics issue.

House Minority Leader Bob Michel, turned the usually good-willed gesture of introducing the new speaker to the House into a strongly worded reminder that Republicans are seething after 35 years under the ruling Democrats. "Thirty five years of uninterrupted power can act like a cor-. rosive acid upon the restraints of civility and comity," he said. "I am all in favor of putting our House in order but we don't do so by sweeping things under the Earlier rug." Tuesday, speaking to a Republican conference, Michel said, "'The House has been corrupted by the absolute power of one-party domination and it isn't going to be cured by a personality Dollar falls LONDON (AP) The dollar was lower in calm trading in Europe today amid expectations that U.S. interest rates were headed downward.

Gold prices jumped, catching up with sharp gains Tuesday in New York. The crisis in China has boosted the dollar since the beginning of the week and remains the key factor in the foreign exchange market, one dealer at a European bank in Frankfurt said. "Everybody is looking at the hot spot China, and if anything happens there, it will have an effect on the dollar," he said. But the China effect was offset by signs that the U.S. Federal Reserve may be easing monetary policy soon, other dealers said.

"As long as we don't know what the Fed is up to, it's impossible to make any predictions," one dealer at a West German bank said. In Tokyo, where trading ends before Europe's business day begins, the dollar rose 0.17 yen to a closing 142.80 yen. Later, in London, it was quoted at 142.65 yen. Deaths and funerals paying so much for a landfill system that would be the first of its kind in the state. "We're going to put $3 million in a hole, and we don't know if it's going to work," he said.

"I wish I knew an alternative," said Council Chairman Carroll Brooks, pointing out that the landfill must be built according to new EPA regulations. Birge Sigety, president and chief executive officer of Professional Medical Products, spoke in favor of the fees, but suggested that they be phased in rather than started abruptly. His company would have to pay $165,000 under the new fee system, up from the $6,500 that it's paying, now, he said. Haynie said the fees are tentative and could be changed later this month. The council is expected to give final approval to the ordinance authorizing the fees at its next meeting in two weeks.

After final approval, the council will then set the actual amount of the fees, Haynie said. troops before opening fire. It was unclear whether the troops leaving the square were evacuating from the city or going to take up positions in the suburbs. They appeared to belong to the 27th Army, responsible for the slaughter of perhaps thousands of people during an offensive that began on Saturday to clear the city center of students seeking a freer society. Several other armies reportedly are in the Belfing area.

Chinese witnesses said the 27th Army clashed early today with units of the 38th Army, the Beijing garrison, with automatic weapons about 12 miles east of downtown. The witnesses believed two onlookers died and said they were not sure about military casualties. U.S. intelligence reports indicate the number killed in Beijing has reached 3,000, while a Chinese government spokesman said Tuesday that 300 died. Although most firing appeared to be warning shots into the air, dozens of bullets struck windows facing the street in a compound for diplomats and other foreign residents about miles east Tiananmen.

"My two children were watching television when the bullets came flying through the window," Fred Krug, chief of security for the U.S. Embassy, told the Chicago Tribune. "'The Chinese maid threw herself across the children and covered them." Many Democrats considered Michel's remarks a slap the olive branch Foley was extending. think they could have been a little more conciliatory, a little more said Rep. Dale Kildee, D-Mich.

A more personal shot at Foley from the Republican National Committee was brushed aside by the new speaker, and he said today that Atwater had called him to apologize. The RNC issued a paper comparing Foley's voting record with that of Rep. Barney Frank, D- an acknowledged homosexual. The paper was headlined, "Tom Foley, Out of the Liberal Closet." Frank took ire, calling the document "despicable" and said he might expose gay Republican lawmakers if the GOP continues making "scurrilous" attacks. He noted that Republicans have not been immune from ethics Folk-singer will perform at Erskine DUE WEST Folk-singer and storyteller Ed Kilbourne will perform Monday at the Marie T.

Foley himself said he hadn't read the Republican paper and didn't intend to. "I'm not concerned about political action committees. I want to work with the president, work with the leadership of the Congress," he said. Foley also promised to meet Michel's demand for swift action on an ethics and campaign reform package a goal Democrats also want to meet in order to put the whole ethics issue to rest. Reps.

In a written statement released Tuesday, Rocard told the National Assembly's Defense Committee of the reduction plan but no details were given.

France conducts nuclear tests at its Pacific center at Mururoa Atoll. New Zealand reported that France exploded a 20-kiloton nuclear device Sunday at an underground site in French Polynesia believed to be Muraroa. It was the third French nuclear test this year and the 106th in France's underground series. The government's policy is to neither confirm nor deny reports of its nuclear tests. Rocard's statement did not say how many the French had planned to carry out or how great the reduction would be.

President Francois Mitterrand announced May 24 that the defense budget would be cut $2.5 billion from this year's $27.2 billion defense budget over the next two years. But because of inflation the defense budget still will increase by about 3 percent next year and 4 percent in 1991.

New Jersey man arrested in Charleston NORTH CHARLESTON (AP) The FBI has arrested a New Jersey man here on charges of writing nearly $900,000 in bad checks on a New Jersey lighting company's bank account. A man believed to be Robert M. Fitzgerald, 68, whose last known address was in Fords, N.J., was arrested Monday in an area motel, said William Nettles, agent- charge of the FBI's Charleston office.

Fitzgerald is charged with count of interstate transportation of stolen property, Nettles said. At a U.S. District Court hearing Tuesday, federal Judge Falcon B. Hawkins granted a motion that the man calling himself Jay Campbell be held without bail for three days to give authorities a chance to determine his identity. Assistant U.S.

Attorney Robert Haley told Hawkins the man is believed to have three aliases and was driving a new car when arrested. About 2:30 p.m. Monday, FBI agents in Newark, N.J., notified local federal agents that Fitzgerald might be in the Charleston area, Nettles said. Agents started checking motels for the car the man was believed to be driving. An hour later, the FBI spotted the car at a Northside Drive motel and arrested Fitzgerald, Nettles said.

He said Fitzgerald had been at the motel since Sunday. Fitzgerald is accused of taking about 1,000 blank company checks from the Stonco division of Genlyte group, a lighting fixture manufacturing outfit in Union, N.J., Nettles said. While working there as an accountant from September 1985 through March 10, 1989, the man was known as Fitzgerald, according to court documents. Soon after Fitzgerald left the company, it was discovered that six or seven bank accounts had been opened in New Jersey with checks written on the company's account, Nettles said. The new accounts cleaned "money out of the company's account up almost $900,000 that is known to Nettles said.
