BRISTOL.

Joseph F. Dutton was elected mayor of the city of Bristol Ill yesterdays election by a plurality of 523 votes over w. Raymond, Crumb. present mayor, who was running for reelection. The pop ular attorney, has twice before been mayor of this city back in the World war days. Final re- turns showed the total vote for mayor to have returned 3,337 votes for Mayor Dutton. while Crumb trailed with vote of 2,S14.
 In the elections for city council. no newcomer was able to break his way through the solid phalanx of the present city council. All the old familiar names who have served the city so we'll were ae- corded the full support of the vot- CTS in the election. The only new name to appear is that of Willard F. Hough, who is in no reality a newcomer to the council. Due to the fact that he chose to run for mayor in the last election, he was not on the city council but he was returned to the council with the largest vote of any of the council men yesterday, polling 3,677 votes. The following councilmen were re- elected to that body with the fol- lowing respective totals: Thomas A. Tracy. 3,5S6; William A. Hayes, 3,575; Charles R. Anderson, 3,437; Lewis G. Parsons. 3,09S; and Frank W. Dutton, 2,944.
 No opposition was. recorded in any of the other positions except in that for v'city clerk where Thomas B. Steele, city, clerk ever since Bristol became a city was op- posed for the first time in sixteen years by Royden G. Barton. whom he easily defeated to be returned to offic. Calixte Al lire and Juni- us 2. Douglas were opposed by Charles M. Darlington and Will liam J. Fries for the office of as- sessor but were returned to office as, the results in the preliminary elections had indicated. Phil c. Rouleau, running for Board of Re- lief. and the auditors, Walter l.. Crouch and Stoddard F. Wight man were all unopposed.
 The name of George Seney Beach, local banker and city treas urer. was necessarily kept on the voting lists as he was unopposed for office although now that he has been posthumously elected. sue cessor will have to be appointed to hold the office.
 The leading question of the day, school consolidation, was again defeated by the voters, this time by the plurality of 2,673 to 1.75o. Although there is apparently enough interest in it to keep It coming up in every election. the proponents of the measure nave never yet been able to put II through in an election.
