ro PAVE MARKET S'iREET NEXT
ity l athers At Special Meeting Fri
day Night I'aswd Resolution To
Improve Street to Depot. Concrete
Sidewalks to Be Built.
The City Fathers held a special I
meeting Friday night to consider the
petition for paving: Market street to
depot. With the petition signed by
the owners whose property abutted
jn said street, was a petition signed
largely by citizens and property
owners of the town. The petition
was before the board of aldermen a
few weeks ago and was turned down
at that time. Since then quite a sen
timent has developed for paving Mar
ket street to depot, with the result
that a special meeting was called to
reconsider the matter. The petition
before the board was too strong to be
turned down, so it was passed and
the paving will be extended to the
depot. This will give a paved street
from the entrance to the town at
Neuse river bridge, through the town
to the railroad which is the eastern
limit of Smithfield. All persons mak
ing the trip through here on the
Central Highway will have a paved
roadway clear through the town.
A large number of concrete side
walks are to be built. When the pro
posed work is completed every section
of the town will have a paved side
walk running to the business centre.
All other sidewalks are to be put in
go<?d condition by being heavily grav
eled.
The improvements, with what has
already been done, will add much to
the appearance of the town and also
make it a more desirable place to live
and travel in. The board of aldermen
is composed of men who are willing to
make as much progress and advance
ment as the financial situation will
permit. They have shown that they
are not afraid of war, but are go
ing ahead on a bigger scale i,han ever
before.
