Town Council Debates Excess Fares and High Street Rebuild
Bristol Town Council discusses Walter Munroe's protest over excess commuter fares charged at the Constitution Street station and seeks enforcement of a 1902 franchise clause. The meeting approves High Street reconstruction plans by Harvey S. Jewell, with a $7000 estimate and bids to be sought. A patriotic relics committee for Burnside Memorial Hall is formed, and milk license renewals and street survey tasks are assigned. The Fire Department engineers' annual report is received.
