Bristol seeks Civil War monument to honor local volunteers
An editorial from Bristol notes a committee of veterans is seeking sculptors to estimate the cost of a monument for Bristol men who volunteered in the Civil War. It argues the town should honor its soldiers and sailors, including Burnside, and suggests placing the monument in front of the Burnside Memorial Building or on the Common. The piece urges community support for Rabbits Post to advance the project and preserve the memory of 1861 sacrifices. It also reports Westerly Town Council approved 15 of 35 liquor licenses, despite a legal cap of 17, with licenses costing 700.
