Zone Change Granted By Town Council
The Town Council approved a zoning change for Manuel and Lillian Vieira to convert a parcel at Metacom and Mt Hope Avenue from limited residence to general business. Attorney Richard F Staples objected as spot zoning, noting nearby University land and no building changes. Vieira said the move is for security as he now owns the land and will keep the service station and land unchanged.

GOP Urges Civil Defense Aid in Rescue Truck Buy
The Bristol Republican committee urged the town to seek Civil Defense help in purchasing a new emergency rescue truck. Chair Lucien Capone said towns save by using surplus stocks and CD agency deals and that a meeting with Major General McGreevy and Nelson Beals would explore Civil Defense sharing about half the cost.
