In a tense meeting residents push for sewer project details and long term funding. Officials cited a potential 14 to 20 percent cost increase, with engineers proposing cuts to offset. Capone and Grubbs pressed for transparency while questioning taxing authority and constitutionality of the proposal.
Last night the town meeting passed three final items after midnight. They approved a $14,1000 payment to Bristol County Water Company for August 1, 1958 to June 30, 1957, an $1,000 appropriation for a portrait of late Town Clerk John W. Church, and a $10,000 appropriation to place town employees in a state retirement system.
Taxpayers argue town meetings are outdated and isocracy is needed as a majority opposes a proposed budget resolution. Attorney Berrettd questions section wording while Raymond Racman and Martin defend flexibility and citizen input in Bristol General Assembly actions.
