 Improving Athletic Field
 The loam obtained during the excavation work from the pool has been used for the greater part at the Bristol high school athletic field. The baseball diamond was com pletcly covered with it.

The twilight i league has been using the diamond for several years and has complain cd about the roughuoss of the in field and parts of the outfeld. Play ing on a rough field endangered the players 10 q great extent. A hard i hit ball would hit small stone and bound into the face of the player and possibly cause him much in jury.
