Bristol Town Council Awards Water Dividend and Rejects Barns Offer
The Bristol Town Council received a 2250 dividend check from the Bristol & Warren Water Works earmarked for Colt Memorial High School and the town poor. The council declined Miss Isoline Barns and her sister’s offer of 2000 to defray legal expenses and 500 for street repairs related to Smith street, citing public highway obstructions. The panel authorized bid copying for Church and State streets rebuilding and a storm sewer on Church street, plus a 25 foot lease to Mahoney on Wood street. The police chief’s monthly report was filed, Thames street road work was confirmed, and a Civic Theatre free educational event was approved.
