STREET IMPROVEMENT - It |
is with pleasure that we note the 4
street improvements that are now 4
being made. The vent of water at
the -Four Corners" has been
subject of complaint for several /
years, me water running over and .
washing the road at every heavy
rain fall. because the culverts were
too small or checked up so as not
TO admit Of its passage. The Town
Commissioner after considerable
delay, not being able to get stone
masons to do the work, are put
ting in larger ones with cast iron
tops. It is thought that the water
viii hereafter be prevented from
backing up on, and covering the
pavement with debris. In front of
the Smyrna House yard the pave
ment is being elevated and a num-
Der Of our citizens are making
preparations to relay old or put
down new pavements. The cast
ings for the culverts were manu-
factured by George W. & S. Taylor
of this town.
