Smoke Problems Plague Council
The council heard a withdrawn junk license application filed by Sabato Stanzione of Broad Common after a neighbor complaint from Manuel and Maria Amaral. Attorney Anthony Berretto cited town rules on salvage yard legality and Stanzione said he would reapply for a junk and second hand dealer license. Residents filed a petition over a smoke nuisance tied to burning waste metals. state air officials called the smoke mist, while the town engineer called it smoke. A letter will invite Dr Joseph Cannon to Bristol to discuss the issue. The council also reviewed riot control equipment needs after officers attended state and FBI trainings, with plans to discuss further at the Dec 10 meeting. Resignation of Helene Tessler as community center chair was not accepted.
