Gil Will Order All Bad Pavements
Repaired Before Cold Weather
At a meeting of Smyrna Town
Council last Friday evening the
subject of better streets and pave
ments took up large share of the
general discussion. Since Main
street was bricked, there has been
an impetus given to street improve
ment and in most cases Town Coun-
ell has been aided and assisted by
our progressive citizens in the mat
ter of laying pavements and cutters.
This has been evidenced by the
splendid improvement to south Main
street from Chestnut street to the
Gas Works. With the laying of a
pavement in front of the Gas Works
and the laying of pavement and
gutter in front of the loo of Samuel
Cats, the improvement to that
end of the town will have a nice
finish, an attractive approach from
the south and fine walk for p des-
trians. When the report of the
Street Committee was called Friday
evening, Chairman Robinson reported
that a big improvement was being
made to the northend of Main street
from North street to Glenwood
Avenue.
Improving North End of Main Street
By lowering the grade in some
places and raising the grade in
others, the pavements and cutters
all along the walk to Glenwood Gem.
etery and Duck Creek present a
much more uniform appearance and
beautiful grade is being made on
both sides of the street. And the
demand for better pavements does not
end with Glenwood avenue. Now
Robert Butcher, James Gibbs and
other property owners residing oppo-
site Glenwood Cemetery have petit
toned Council for a pavement be-
tween the Lovegrove and Butcher
properties. The petition has been
referred to the Street Committee
who will investigate and report. At
the same time the Street Committee
will make an inspection of the town
and report bad pavements with the
view of having them repaired before
cold weather sets in. The legal 81
day notices will be sent out and il
all cases of noncompliance the
Street Committee will have tn,
wo-k done and collect from the prop
erty.
