A Record of Untiring Service

Citizens of Smyrna regret
that a change in business and
location has made it neces-
sary for Walter w. Hynson to
relinquish his office of Town
Treasurer. For efficiency, 10y
atty and serving the best in
terests Of Smyrna, Mr.. Hyn-
son has made a record to be
proud of. However, he is to

during the past few months,
been devoting considerable at
tention to further important
projects designed to promote
the general welfare. One of
the proposed improvements
has to do with the opening of
Market Street from Com
merce to South Street of
which much has been said in
these columns. Another sig
nificant development of con-
siderable importance to the
community is the announced
intention on the part of Berry
Brothers of Phoenixville, Pa,
to establish in Smyrna. This
company, which manufactur-
es hosiery, was attracted by
the healthy financial condi-
tion of the Town, by its fav-
orable location on the high
way, and by the adequate
supply of a relatively high
class of labor available. AS
soon as the necessary building
which is to be undertaken at
once, is completed, the Com
pany expects to move in its
machinery and begin opera
tions.
Since this report was
another industry is
soon to locate here, a factory
for the making Of signal fuses
and flares, all of which is go
ing to be a boost to Smyrna
and aid in its expansion.

How About Market st. Plaza?

When Market Street is
opened thru to South in front
of the entrance of our splen-
did John Bassett Moore High
School, how would it look to
further widen the street on
this extension and provide for
a plaza" such as Dover ac-
complished by moving the old
postoffice and extending
LoockeTman street to East
Dover Hills" Some council
men are already discussing a
plan to have a Plaza with
flowers and shrubbery plant
in the center and the street
extension made a double high
way, one way to South to the
school and the other way
north to Commerce street.
Such community open-air
center would make more
attractive the approach to the
High School and at the same
time beautify the town. This
is a thought for citizens to
enlarge upon.

A comprehensive insurance
policy covering public liability
and property damage and pro-
viding ample compensation
for town employees has been
put in force during the past
year. The parking lot in the
rear of the Post Office has
been graded, well finished
with gravel, and is now ready
for use. 1t is enclosed by a
substantial wire fence of at
tractive design. Sewer and
water lines were laid from the
town limits on the west to the
corner of Commerce and
Union Streets, Mt. Vernon to
North on Church Street, and
Mt. Vernon to North on Lin

done at a very material saw
