State should assume traffic control for Bristol Fourth
An editorial urges state government to provide comprehensive crowd and traffic management for Bristol's Independence Day parade. It argues the state police and National Guard handled Tall Ships week traffic better, warns against drunken incidents, and calls for formal state police traffic control authority and planning funding for 1977. It condemns local political infighting at town hall as counterproductive.
