Is This Town Bound By Former Council
The Bristol Town Council considers a binding agreement with the First National Bank of Boston to finance a 500000 sewer bond at not more than 2500 in fees. A closed session led to a report by finance committee members Millemaggi and Capone. A 1948 act grants unusual bond powers to sell at public auction or private sale, potentially allowing favoritism.

America and the Birth of the America's Cup
In August 1851 Commodore John C Stevens arrived in England with the yacht America and issued a challenge to Royal Yacht Squadron yachts open to all nations. After a 53 mile Isle of Wight course, America finished first by eight minutes, earning the 100 guinea trophy that became the America's Cup. The victory prompted reforms in British hulls and rigs and solidified New York Yacht Club prestige as the cup moved toward perpetual challenge status with later matches including Cambria 1869 and Livonia 1871 under James Ashbury's challenges.
