Bristol Presses For Supplemental School Bond Bill
Bristol Tennesseans push a supplemental bill to authorize the county court to issue up to 200000 in school bonds in addition to the 300000 already voted. The move followed a Nashville conference where officials urged Senator Buckles to back the measure without county court knowledge. County Judge Bandy reportedly refused to sanction the action, saying it is a court matter. The petition, signed by 36 of 48 magistrates, signals continued pressure to extend bond funding beyond the existing 300000 allocation for the city and county school program.
