Saloon Closures Mark Sunday in Town
Saloons were closed all day Sunday and strict adherence to the Sabbath observed. Extra police patrolled saloon sections as the new Town Council enforces the law, with town leaders and clergy praising the action while some doubt it lasts. Passenger rail traffic between Bristol and Warren remained typical for the season. A resident recalls past automobile laws failing to curb speeding, hoping proper enforcement will replace the old sign and renew the rule.
