The charter review commission met to discuss changing the town charter to appoint rather than elect the town administrator. Most present council members favored appointment by the council with checks and balances, though no final recommendation was made, and the issue will be revisited in January.

Bristol Fourth of July Carnival Called Off This Year
The Bristol Fourth of July Committee reports no carnival this year after bidding failed to attract operators. Town Common site rejection and no responses mean a loss of about 4300 dollars. Town leaders urge residents to donate to cover the shortfall as Chief Marshal DaSilva reviews staff at the next meeting. Hope Street will receive the traditional red, white and blue stripe per state DOT assurances.
