Paull Attacks Budget Board Over School Funds
Bristol Town Council President Prescott B. Paull harshly criticized the Budget Committee for not cutting the 1937 school department appropriation and cited increased state aid to schools. He urged raises for police and other departments if funds permit, while budget officials denied political influence and cited state controls. The council supported sidewalk work, discussed merging sewer and highway departments under a public works commissioner, and considered curtailing the Board of Recreation while awaiting WPA beach repairs.
