Town Council Approves Tentative Budget Totals 277729.88
The Town Council adopted a tentative 1934 budget totaling 27772988 for general appropriations despite not including public aid due to state allotment uncertainty. Council President Angevine and Councilman Hibbert urge joint budget committee action before presenting final figures to taxpayers. The police and school departments face held or proposed increases, while reductions and new items such as Bristol Children's Home fire escapes and improved fire insurance terms are noted. A resident seeks work or relief, and two Boy Scout notices receive no council action.
