Contract details on street lighting franchise and rebates
Citizens read a Bristol street lighting contract granting a 25 year franchise with no taxes paid by the company and a 3 percent town revenue share on gross income. The deal promises a daylight burn if needed and a pro rata rebate if nights fail to burn the required time, with price schedules through 1908 and potential reductions similar to Providence’s. The council paused acceptance to review loopholes and digest the contract, which shows annual gross income of $20,000 base for tax calculations.
