Taxpayers to Meet on Hurricane Bills and Road Funds

Bristol taxpayers will gather for a special financial town meeting Monday to plan payment of storm related bills and to consider amending a July 25 appropriation of 60 000 for sidewalks and roads so funds can be used for other disaster needs. The meeting, urged by Town Council President Brescait B Paull, aims to relieve unpaid bills and cover WPA costs and highway department overages from the hurricane. Approximately 340 men worked on WPA projects at the peak, later down to 296, with plans to reduce further without delaying rehabilitation.
