Opposition to Franklin Street extension at town meeting
At a winter meeting the Bristol town council opposed extending Franklin Street to Metacom Avenue citing financial strain and lack of justification. Councilman Francois L. de Wolf led the critique, calling for delay until the town’s finances improve, while Joseph Dennis noted the plan would split Metacom Avenue property ownership. The council also planned to oppose selling the old Pastime theater site and ordered no parking signs on High Street. The meeting approved tax exemptions for Bristol Dress Company and noted wage expectations near 12 dollars weekly after June 1. A sympathy resolution for Eugenia Paull was adopted.
