Industry finds trouble locating Bristol for new plants
Philip T Bodell told Bristol Chamber of Commerce last night that New England zoning delays deter industry. He cited the Tupelo Street rezoning for the Dahl Company plant and warned that such delays drive away prospects, while noting the South seeks new industry and Bristol lacks a master plan and zoned sites. Council members challenged his view. A March 12 dinner is planned to promote industrial assets.

School Committee Debates Additional Teacher Pay Increase
The School Committee, facing a proposed $200 across the board rise, may consider a $600 total raise if state aid grows from $75 to $100 per pupil. Teachers seek an extra $400, arguing a compromise is fair given maximum-earning limits. Committee members say they will adjust if more state funding arrives. The panel also welcomes nurse applications and accepts Patricia Koehne’s resignation, handling routine leave and auditorium-use requests.
