Town Solicitor Explains Vote On Tax Assessors Funding
Town Solicitor Lucien Capone explains his no vote on a 2000 appropriation to help the Bristol Tax Assessors complete a new system of platting and assessing real estate. He notes prior work dating to 1941 and urges compliance with a 1921 court ruling to avoid improper titles and avoid burdening the town with questionable real estate.

Town Meeting Sidelights and Unexpected Quiet
The town meeting drew a small, tense crowd with only the exit side populated. Mr Wall was seen as a potential moderator, having to wait 12 days after Election Day to officially take office under a new law. The General was missed, Onofrio M. spoke briefly before the moderator reminded him of Sunday’s instruction, and post meeting groups formed as regulars stayed away, satisfied with the oil and Budget Committee recommendations.
