A landmark on Burlington avenue which for hundreds of years has de- noted the dividing line between Bur lington and Bristol will soon be eliminated when the avenue is wid- ened to care for increasing automo- bile traffic over that route, it has been learned.
 The aged landmark, an oak tree, i5 situated upon the spot where the first town meeting ever held in Bris- tol took place. Bristol, at that time. included the town of Burlington and boasted of only several hundred per sons as it's population.
 The tree, in addition to marking the scene of this city's initial town assemblage, also Is located in the vicinity of the site of an old tavern, reputediy visited many times by dis tinguished gentlemen and stage coaches of old. This tavern, burned to the ground many years ago, was on the Bartholomew property. This family was one of the first to locate with the Bell City's boundaries.
 Although no arrangements as to the historic trees disposition have been made, it is thought probable that 1t will be made into a piece of furniture or other commemorative article and placed on exhibition. Its passing is regretted by many of the residents of Burlington avenue, who ofttimes read its history on the in- scribed plate attached.
