Council at its last regular meeting
decided to hold up granting a fran
chise to Joseph Smithers, owner of
the Smyrna Gas Works, until its next
meeting January 3, to give the tax
PAYERS of Smyrna an Oppor-
tunity to express through their repre-
sentatives in Council, whether it would |
be expedient and advisable at this
time for the Town to take over the
gas works and run it in connection
with the electric light plant. Such
a course was felt advisable at this
time. owing to the fact that the Leg
islature was soon to meet and the
matter of acquiring the right by act
of said Legislature, to vote on the
question, could be put through at an
early date. The time is ripe for ac-
tion and it is for the people of Smyrna
to express their wishes in the matter.
1t is pointed out that the Town of
Smvrna could work the gas plant in
connection with the electric light
plant at a saving of more than $500
a year on fuel and saving of labor.
With such conditions, some Council
men whoAhave been looking into the
cost of production in connection with
both plants, say that it is not improb-
able that S1.OO gas or even less might
be furnished to people of Smyrna.
Council is ready to grant Mr. Smith
ers or his incorporated company 20
year franchise. Mr.. Smithers, how
ever. who says he has reached the age
of life where he wants to unload the
cares and responsibilities, is ready to
sell his plant but will give Smyrna
the preference over any other bidder.
The time is now at hand when Smyrna,
if it ever contemplates owning its gas
plant, is given the golden opportunity.
The next meeting Of Town Council
will be on Friday next, January B.
If you favor the plan, so indicate
your feelings to your representative
in Council. otherwise Council will no
take the responsibility and the Ordi
nance granting Mr.. Smithers certai
rights will be passed. This Oppor
tunity is something for the people an
tax payers to think about.

Everything went all right until the
dog shifted the turkey and the other
good things at the side OF the stage,
