New Closing Law Forces Out Hotel Management
Hotel Belvedere owners Preston Scott and Alan R Elsworth and their wives packed up and left Bristol for New York after a town law forced bars to close at midnight. Scott and Elsworth blamed the effect on the council action, detailing financial strain and a race to find new work as they praised Bristol and noted attempts to renegotiate. Edward Kunz, hotel proprietor, said the change was anticipated and expressed regret at their departure while vowing to keep operations running until new arrangements are made.
