SMYRNA TOWN COUNCIL TO
WIDEN CAUSEWAY At "BREAE"
AWARDS CONTRACT TO O'CON.
NELL & SON TO MAKE FILL
Council to Make Approach to BouIe-
ward at Proper Width and ]. Frank
Webb to Cooperate With Them

AT special meeting of Smyrna
Town Council Friday evening called
by President L. NJ. Price, with all
members present except w. R. Davis,
1t was voted to fill in the Lake Como
causeway at "the break" by widening
1t IL feet along a distance of 81 feet
to straighten the line so it can join up
with the dupont Boulevard at a uni
form width. The contract was award
ed to O'COnnell and Son for S125.OO.
Mr.. j. Frank Webb, owner of the mill
property was also present and when
1t was determined to the satisfaction
OF Council that the dam was sufficient
to his needs and within the legal di-
mensions, the improvement above Or
dered was matter between the Town
OF Smyrna and the State Highway
Commission. Members of Council felt
at the small expense it would show a
proper interest and pride for the town
to cooperate with the Highway Com
mission and make the approach from
the Boulevard from the causewav and
Main street as attractive as possible.
The plan is to widen the causeway and
have the corner rounded into the
boulevard. Mr.. Webb offered to deed
any property so improved to the Town
of Smyrna free of charge and not only
this but intends to put up white
fence on both sides of the causeway
similar to Hoffecker's mill pond cause
way at his own expense. When Mr..
Webb made the gratitious offer the
motion of Z. T. Porter seconded by R.
Y. Wallen was carried without a dis
senting voice and the contract was
awarded to O'Connell and Son, who
are making the fills, for SIPS. 1t will
take approximately 200 yards of
earth. After Council adjourned, which
did not consider any other business
than that for which the meeting was
called, the members remained to talk
over roads to be built by the State
Highway Commission and Kent Coun-
ty Levy Court during the year 1922.
While preference was given to the
road from Smyrna to Marydel as bene-
fitting the most people a strong SEN
timent was for a road from the Gin
ger Board" below Smyrna to Dover
by way of Leipsic. This would open
a fine farming section and would it
