Memorial Tablet for Mr. Bennett Proposed by Bristol
A Bristol suggestion urges a memorial for Herbert JF Bennett in the Burnside Memorial Building rather than a town financed statue. The plan favors a community subscription with small gifts from many residents, possibly for a beautifully engrossed record or minute to be decided at the March financial town meeting. The Phoenix offers to lead and publish contributor names if desired.
