Bristol Town Meeting Called Over Dock and Flats Plan
Readable excerpts from 1868 Bristol call for a town meeting to discuss allowing the Providence Warren and Bristol Rail Road Co. to fill the dock at Franklin street and grant rights to fill the bridge flats for rail and steam boat use. Resolutions later grant these privileges with conditions and note land ownership disputes tied to Mount Hope lands and historic charters.
