of the right of way through
Grover Kings property to ex-
tend Lake Como Drive through
to Main Street. Lake Como
Drive will extend the entire
length of the Gardens. Council

Next Monday is the day on
which residents of Smyrna will
have a referendum vote for a
Town Manager here. All per-
sons residing in the town who
were eligible to vote in the last
Town election here in February
will have the right to vote. No
voting by proxy will be permit
ted. Voting will take place at
the Town Hall between the
hours of three and six o'clock.
If the Town Manager Plan is
approved by a majority, the
Mayor and Council of Smyrna
will appoint a Manager for an
indefinite term and fix his sal
ary. No member of council is
eligible, during his term to be
appointed manager. The offic-

assigned to a manager will be
at the discretion of council, but
will probably include supervi-
sion of streets, water and sewer
systems, electric system, and
town owned property. He would
also collect town taxes and 9TH
er revenue, for which he would
be bonded for the amount OF
$4,000. The manager would
not be restricted to resident
/ of Smyrna.
