Smyrna Town Council was effected
last Fridny evening at an adjourned
session. John P. Hudson, temporary
chairman, presided. Charles P.Thorn-
ley, temporary secretary, was unable
to be present, owing to an accident
that befell him. Fl. B. Grieves acted
in his stead All the councilmen have
been sworn in except Councilman
elect John G. Stockly, who was not
present Friday night. Councilman
elect Reynolds was present and took
the oath of Office administered by Pres
ident Protein Hudson. The Council
went Immediately into an election for
permanent officers with the result that
S. j. Reynolds was reelected presi-
dent and Fl. B. Grieves, secretary and
town clerk, each receiving the unani-
nous vote of all present. President
Reynolds took the chair and business
was resumed with its old time decorum.
The election of an alderman or
"Mayor" was the first business of the
organized Council. Secretary Grieves
nominated Eugene Grow and there be-
ing no other nominations he was
elected by reclamation. Assessor E.
Marriott Fowler, who was elected at
the recent Town Election rendered his
resi- gnation to Council. which was &C.
cepted. On motion of Secretary Grieves

Urges New Switchboard For Dynamo.
President Reynolds directed that
the old Committees continue in service
until he had an opportunity to name
his new cabinet which would be made
later at full meeting of the Board
Chairman Grieves of the Light & Water
Committee read letter which he re
ceived from the Rumsey Electric Com
pany who were recently awarded the
contraction installing new Warren dy
namo at Power Station. The letter made
inquiry as to what Council intended do
ing with regard to the switch board for
the large dynamo now in service. Mr.
Rumsey agreed to make the new switch
board complete to take in the old al
we'll as the new machine at an addi
tional cost of $4,000. The contrac
calls for a new switchboard for the new
dynamo but not for the old and sine,
the one now in service is out of dat
and unsafe especially in electric storms
Chairman Grieves deemed advisable
and coupled with this was the opinion
of our Chief Electrician James II
Wilson, that the Town. would do wei
to have the new and improved switch
board. 1t was also pointed out tina
: sooner or later the Town would hav
stalled much cheaper now while tn
other new work was being put in, tina
separately, and if the Town ever wante'
to replace the old dynamo with anothe
Warren machine the switchboar
would be complete and ready for il
The matter was left over after consi6
/, cradle discussion, until a meeting @
the full board. The new dynamo
nearly ready and will doubtless be pu
! in before the ninety days are passed.
