A meeting of the town board held Tuesday night at the city clerk’s office, a resolution was introduced allowing filling stations and garages in Smithfield to remain open on Sundays except between the hours of 10:30 and 12 o’clock. The resolution, which was moived by W.D. Hood and seconded by J.D. Underwood, will lie on the table according to law until the regular meeting in August which will be Tuesday night, August 3rd.
Mr. D. Carlton Stephenson representing the American Legion appeared before the board and asked for a contribution to the memorial fund to be used to erect a monument on the courthouse square in memory of the Johnston county boys who gave their lives in the world war. The board voted to contribute $250 to this cause.
Mr. J.A. Wellons, town attorney, at the instance of a committee from the Business and Professional Woman’s club, presented the matter of putting the opera house in decent shape to be used for community affairs. The matter was tabled.
In view of the fact that additional paved sidewalks are needed in Smithfield besides those called for in the street paving program it was decided to refer all such requests to the committee which has such matters in charge composed of W.F. Grimes, R.P. Holding and J.D. Underwood. It has been suggested that a sidewalk be built from the corner at T.R. Hood’s residence to the corner of W.S. Peterson’s residence in Brooklyn.
