THE RIALTO BRIDGE.

The question of whether the present
Rialto bridge shall be replaced with
a steel or stone structure this year is
being discussed freely pro and con.
About year ago the Rialto bridge
was examined by engineers who de-
clared it to be unsafe but that, if re-
paired, it might do for another year.
1t was estimated that steel bridge
would cost between 50, 900 and $40, =
600 and stone one from $25, 600 to
$50, 900.
There is growing sentiment in ia
vor of a stone bridge if the arch would
not prove to be an obstruction to the
ice going out in the spring. 1t is
said that stone bridge would not OBJ
struct the stream any more than an
iron one, and once built it would last
for all time, with little repairs except
to the road way which would be made
a grade. J. M. Boutwell, said today he
had hoped it would not be necessary tc
build the bridge this year but, he
should favor stone one. The mat
ter may come before the annual city
meeting for discussion.

A FORMER VERMONTER.

Henry Lee Dodge, formerly of Bur-
Iington, died on Monday at San Fran
cisco. Mr. Dodge was born in Calais,
January 81, 1925, and was the son of
Nathan and Hannah Phinney Dodge.
He received his early education in the
schools and academy of his native
town and at the University of Yer
mont which he entered in 1912. His
health failed and he was obliged to
abandon his collegiate course but in
1871. upon regaining his strength, he
entered the law office of Messrs.. Platt
and Peck of Burlington, pursuing his
studies there for two years. In 1S49
he was attracted to California by the
gold discoveries but on arriving there
found that miners life was not con-
genial to his tastes and sought employ
ment in San Francisco. He was ap-
ointed clerk of the Alcalde's court and
subsequently became clerk to Mayor
Geary. He practiced law for some
time, and then III company with his
brother, L. G. Dodge, established a
wholesale provision house, with which
he was connected at the time Of his
death. He served in both branches of
the California legislature and in S77
was appointed superintendent of the
mint at San Francisco, holding that
responsible position for four years and
a half.

SUNDAY BLAZE.

An old landmark was nearly des-
troyed by fire early Sunday morning.
What damage the fire fiend left un-
done was consummated by its destroy
er-water.
On Sunday hundreds visited the
blackened and besoaked ruins while
members of the eleven families, who
inhabited the building at the corner
of Court and Cliff streets for over
quarter of century known as 1.-THE
Hillside", were removing the last YES
tige of what they had once called
home but which none of them could
claim as such any longer
No one seems certain just when the
Hillside was constructed but it is
known it was built for and was the
first home of the local Methodist
church and remained as such up to
1878 when it was forsaken for the pres
ent Trinity church. The Hillside was
then sold to the late George H. Ben
nett and later to M. E. Smile, who
since assuming its ownership has ex-
pended in the neighborhood of $4,000
to rehabilitate the building and make
it more habitable.
This was not the first occasion
on which fire has attempted to destroy
the structure. At least four occasions
are remembered in recent years which
were promptly frustrated by the fire
department, the cause of each fire be-
| ing defective chimney like the last,
so it is said. 1t is held by the fire
wardens that the chimneys of the
building were not adequate in size for
the demand made upon them by the
| family of tenants which would include
| L. IL oil
The recent fire recalls another which
visited the building when used as a
church and not included in the four
referred to. 1t was back in the sixties
when a sharp rivalry existed between
the hand engine companies as to which
should throw the first stream of water
at fire, and thus win the prize offer
red by the then village officials.
On this occasion the Methodist So
ciety was holding a mid-week prayer
service when it was found the build
ing was on fire. The late Robert Har-
gin was janitor of the church and
sounded the alarm. The company OF
which Edgar p. Sloan was foreman
was first to arrive. The janitor ex-
postulated with the foreman against
throwing any water but the foreman
was young and jealous and 10th to
forego the prize, which was within
his grasp An athletic mixup between
the janitor and the foreman was the
result and while the combatants strug
gled the hose played merrily upon thu
blaze and the soaked worshipers made
their escape from the building as bes
/ they could. This company got th'
prize.
