The announcement Of the con- tinuation Of Councilman Judd on the police board will he pleasing infor- nation 10 the taxpayers of Bristol as 10 his efforts in behalf of the police department is due, 10 a great de- gree, the present efficiency Of the department. It was owing 10 his in ,tercst in tho department that target practice was iNaUgurated for the benefit Of the Tatrolmcn, and under This efficient instruction and expert
 craftsmanship the officers profted .hy the stated drill periods held un- der his direction.
