Murphy Proposes Recreation Program Using School Buildings
Bristol officials consider a joint meeting of the School Committee the Board of Recreation and PTA to discuss a temporary youth and potential adult recreation program using school facilities. Murphy urged a definite plan with possible paid staff and volunteer help, noting prior group uses approved individually. Balzano supported the idea citing teen dances at the Elk’s Club and crowd demand, while a town meeting could authorize funding if the program proves successful. Separate youth activities and hikes are planned, with Manuel Torres going as assistant scoutmaster and Shawnee patrol led by George Northup in the inter patrol contest through year end.
