Bristol recreation board faces possible funds shortfall for 1937 season
The Bristol Town Council received a note from George R. Fish, chairman of the recreation board, saying 1936 profits from the community beach were largely spent on repairs and rent. With two years rent due totaling 700, the board may lack funds to open this summer. The council debated using the balance for back rent or keeping some for bathhouse repairs and asked the solicitor to inquire about federal bathing options.
