The site for Bristol's new $780,
600 armory is subject Of consid-
cradle speculation among residents
and much favorable comment has
been heard in connection with plac-
ing the new structure on Center
street, the location recommended by
the city planning commission. The
land south Of the Memorial Boule-
ward and east of Mellen street is
claimed by many to be the logical
location. although this land was
turned over to the park board by
vote Of the city council to be used
exclusively for park purposes.
DR.. b. B. Robbins. city health Of
ficer. discussing the matter today.
expressed himself as opposed to the
Center street site and stated that he
personally would give to the city a
better site on South street extension.
He pointed out the fact that a new
state road is soon to be built along
South street and over South street
extension and he believed that the
armory should be on the state road
and not on a side street such as
Center, which he termed Mud
Alley"
1t is probable that the recommen-
dalton of the city planning commits
sion will be considered at the city
council meeting tomorrow evening.
The attitude OF the council is un-
known but it is understood that a
number Of citizens expect to be pres
ent at the meeting and, II given an
opportunity. will express their views.
The purchase of the Center street
site. it is understood, will mean a
considerable expense to the city and
this will be an additional lever
which will be used by those in op-
position to the location.
