Town Council Handles School Site Funding and Club Plans
Hezekiah C Wardwell urged a special town meeting to seek extra funds for a school site while the majority of the School Committee backed the move. A petition signed by 45 taxpayers pressed for funds beyond the 40000 dollar March approval. Council postponed action to next Tuesday. The Bristol Base Ball Club, named the Bristols, seeks use of the common after joining the Narragansett League.
