Move Seen To Oust Anderson As Chief Of Fire Department
Robert J. Anderson faces removal as Bristol Fire Department chief when his re appointment is considered at the April Town Council meeting. A Republican source says the move stems from his party ties and a controversial late summer stance when he effectively resigned during a hurricane period. Acting chief Moses Moore, a non partisan veteran, is among leading alternate candidates along with Fred Guevremont and Oliver Lemaire.

Pollution question raised in shellfishing case in Bristol Harbor
Attorney Lucien Capone argued in Fifth District Court that Bristol Harbor has not been tested for pollution in about three years and that signs marking polluted area were not restored after the September hurricane. He defended Thomas Morrissey charged with taking shellfish from a polluted zone, noting pollution may come from local mills and sewage outlets. Judge Bonnell granted a discontinuance on costs after a department official recommended dismissal, to Morrissey’s age and promise to avoid future violations.
