Job growth programs bolster Bristol town services
The federal push to fund new local government jobs aims to boost Bristol’s service capacity, echoing WPA gains of the 1930s. CETA could add 50 plus workers in six months, a sizable rise from current non school department staff. The Emergency Employment Act preceded CETA, with EEA allocating 411000 dollars over three years starting in 1971.

Town Dog Pound Project Sees Scrutiny and Delays
Town Administrator Augustine Nunes rebukes a Providence press story for not consulting officials about conditions at the pound. Council Chairman Richard Alegria cites a delayed bid process and a council request in October, amid plans for a county pound to meet state standards. Officials estimate a new facility costing 12,000 to 20,000 dollars, while current operations face overcrowding and high dog complaints.

Council highlights honors and hiring questions at town meeting
Scouts from Boy Scout Troops five and six attended to earn the communications merit badge as the town council conducted a brief two hour session. Vasta L. Ruggiero received a resolution of respect known as the lady in the red hat. Former Fire Chief Oscar Rishe was honored posthumously with a tribute to his widow during December ceremonies. The town faced questions over hiring unemployed skilled tradesmen under a federal act while stressing use of funds for new projects. A town law restricting pinball machines may need amendment to allow an air hockey game at the community center. The Pyramids of Charity Women’s Club holds a meeting at 7 pm tonight.
