Dissents from Lucien Capone and doubts about legality dominated a town meeting led by Moderator David J. Ferris as officials debated revaluation plans and the scope of the survey. Dr. Samuel D. Clark and Dr. Raymond A. Thomas defended the process while opponents urged clearer guidance to the town council.

Bristol Meeting Runs Three Hours Over Ten Minute Goal

A Bristol town meeting stretched from a planned ten minutes to three hours as taxpayers debated the meaning of a prior resolution. Capone led a lengthy exchange with moderator Ferris and town solicitor Thomas, with Accardi and Clark proposing amendments. The session ended with a 102 to 1 vote approving the advisory study amid questions of legality and whether the survey would clarify the council’s actions.
