A. E. Jardine has broken the last
business tie with Smyrna by announc-
ing his resignation as secretary,
treasurer and manager of the Smyrna
transportation & Manufacturing
Company. The resignation will take
place the first of May. Mr.. Jardine
was forced to take this action for the
reason that his duties as general man
ager of the Atlantic City Transporta-
tion Company required his whole
time. Since he left here last
October, Mr.. Jardine has been COM
ing to Smyrna on an average of once
a week. After May his connection
as an officer of the Smyrna line will
cease. In his leaving, Smyrna will
lose a most valued and progressive
citizen, one whose place will be hard
to fill. He has done much for trans
portation interests for this vicinity
and has used his influence to getting
a fine water course as is privileged
any inland town on the Delaware
Maryland Peninsula. Mr.. Jardine
