5 month delay fails to sour Coray milk bid
Coray's Milk Company, the current supplier for the elementary school lunch milk program, was finally awarded this year's contract after a five month delay. A late session of the school committee approved the on again off again contract. Initial bid issues in July led to returning two bids tied to federal price indexes. By August the mistake was agreed, a legal opinion sought in September, and the contract readvertised in October. Browns Dairy, Coray's only competitor, withdrew. Coray's bid then stood as the only bid and the contract took effect Monday.

Fuel costs to climb at Bristol and Warren Gas Co
Bristol and Warren Gas Co won a rate hike this week from the state Public Utilities Commission. Gains will lift average monthly fuel bills by about 16 to 18 percent starting this month, says VP Richard A Sullivan Jr. The hike adds roughly $154,000 in revenue, about $67,000 less than requested, potentially lowering service quality amid inflation.
