 Large Vote Anticipated
 The citizens of Bristol should not forget to vote on the two important questions that have been placed at the top of the machine. One query to be voted upon is: Shall the City | purchase the Hitchkiss Aviation Field at price not to exceed $45,- , 00o2" That is number one. Question number two is: shall we consolidate the school districts Of the Town of i Bristol?" Discussion of consolidation seems 10 find the people about even- 1 ly divided. Some seem to favor the i measure while others are greatly | opposed to it. The airport proposal seems to be much in favor and is being boosted by the local Chamber of Commerce. Many of the leading business men of the city are also in favor of the project.
 Previously, very few votes have been cast. showing the small amount of interest that the local voters have ever cared to manifest in such a proposal, Its height of popularity at the present time assures the final elections, next Monday, of record vote.
 PastCrs Distributed
