At meeting of Smyrna Town
srpcil Friday evening Samuel A.
g,tuer, John E. Wilson and Walter
Keith, the special committee who
liked after the resurfacing of Com
,.ce Street and the northern end of
lam Street with tarvia, We're contin-
ja special committee to look into
! cost of resurfacing South, Mt. Yer
n streets and the filling in of holes
nj esurfacing South Main street
Sn the brick to the causeway over
Ike Como. The committee will get
4 and decide on the best course to
lie, whether to put the job out at
stract or to have the work done by
day with town labor under the di-
siOn of Street Supervisor Benia-
IN ". Turner. 1t was decided to
no permanent work on the cause
sy until the State Highway Depart
,.nt had built the road from Wright's
nage on across the meadow of
Tebbs Mill. Besides, the opinion
evailed that the fill at the break,
used by the washout by the storm
year ago last August, was hardly
saled enough to allow of permanent
ork at this time. Every once in a
nile load of dirt, stone or cinders
hauled to this spot and despite the
i1lding up, holes and depressions
hIm which at times becomes rough
nd muddy. The plan is to get start
4 on South street first so as to be
ady for the amusement season which
VII start soon after the schools vacate
sr the summer. Council under a re-
snt act of the Legislature, approved
\ referendum vote by the people,
Ill borrow $4,000 or as much of it
Enecessary. These bonds will be is
ned by July the first and what is not
Eeded to take up the street notes on
