William 7. Dewey, Prominent
Montpelier Citizen
STRICKEN THIS FORENOON
He Had Been for Twenty Years Treas
urer of Vermont Mutual Fire In
surance Committee, was
Native of Montpelier.

After telephoning to the doctor that
he was not feeling well and would call
to see him, William 7. Dewey, for TWEEN
| ty years treasurer of the Vermont Mu-
tual Fire Insurance company and one
of Montpelier's most prominent citizens,
collapsed and died on the stairway to
DIR. G, Il. Chambers Office in Montpelier
this forenoon. He had ascended only a
few steps when stricken with heart fail
ure. DIR. j. r. Grimes and George Me-
grath, who happened along, took him to
the doctors office; but death had al.
ready ensued. DR.. Chandler was watt
ing for Mr.. Dewey at the time, having,
in answer to the latter's telephone mes
sage, replied that he would wait for
him.
Mr.. Dewey had only recently returned
to Montpelier from Louisville, where he
had been attending the national conven-
tion OF the Sons of the American Revo-
luton, being delegate from Vermont,
and the news of his sudden death caused
a great shock in that community, where
he was so well known and respected.
DIR. Dewey was a native of Montpelier
and had spent practically his entire life
there. He was a son Of the late Charles
and Betsey lTarboxl Dewey and was
of family of nine children. OF his
immediate family, he leaves his wife

the old village he was selectman and
when Montpelier became city he served
as an alderman. He was a member of
the first board of license commissioners
in Montpelier and was giving general
satisfaction until he resigned On va
rious committees in civic matters he
was oftentimes placed; but his chief
interest was with the Vermont Mutual
Fire Insurance company, with which he
had been associated for great many
years ii was In 1891 that he was elect
ed treasurer of the company, holding
the office ever since that time :.
1t was his interest in the fire de-
partment of Montpelier that came near
causing Mr.. Dewey's death when a
young man On March IL 1873, when
fire swept large part of the business
section of Montpelier, Mr.. Dewey, then
a fireman, was engaged in fighting the
flames from the roof Of the Rialto
block when the building collapsed,
both Mr. Dewey and Lloyd
Clark, brother of Admiral Clark, down.
The latter was not hurt, but Mr..
Dcwey's left leg was broken, an in
jury which caused him to be lame dur
ing the remainder Of his life. Mr.
Dewey was also greatly interested in
the militia in his younger days He

William It. Burleigh suggested that
a committee be appointed to look up
the contracts between the contractors
and counties and determine just what
the contractors are bonded to do and
the main points of the contracts
brought out so that this information
could be used to work on. He was
appointed chairman of the committee
with Mr.. Staatz and Alderman Bier

Richard c. J%enkinson stated that "a
remedy could not be effected by avert
ing traffic to the Turnpike road as sug-
gested as that road would soon be in as
bad condition as the Plank road, and
it would be covered with ice during
the winter. He urged that the com
nittee suggested by County Counsel
Harrison to meet with the joint board
in an effort to adjust matters, be APP
pointed and the present plan of secur-
ing relief carried out. Former Judge
Gottfried Kruger, Franklin Phillips

DEMAND MADE
FOR PLANK ROAD
IMPROVEMENT

gest. Time and time again we have
gone to Hudson county and waited
about the Court House there for hours,
trying to arrange for a meetin, but
the Hudson men would not sit with
us. They would peek into the room
and, upon seeing us waiting there, run
away. This same thing has occurred
a number of times"
Freebooter Malta said he favored Il
macadam road when the improvement
was first suggested, but the engineers
differed with him. and that settled the
matter. When he declared that the
Board of Trade had written to the
freeholders urging granite block for the
road he was interrupted by Mr.. Hill,
who declared he was mistaken n
hat the trade board favored half
block wood and half granite block
paving.
Several other interruptions occurred
at this juncture and the freeholder in
sisted that the minute book of the
board would bear him out. More inter
ruptions followed and Freebooter Mat
tia declared it was unfair to stop him
when he was explaining his side.
"Why the Hudson members and we
nearly came to blows over this matter
on several occasions. We were fighting
for what the citizens of Essex county
said they wanted and did not intend to
give in. It's not fair and it's not just
to- get it from both sides, as we do when
you slap at us for the difficulties, What
would you have done if we had given
in?"
Secretary Reilly returned from an in
y~estigation of the trade boards minute
book and declared the resolution favor
ing granite block mentioned by Free
holder Malta had been amended for
the half wood and half granite plan.
He was not sure whether the amended
resolution had been sent to IL freehol-
ders, but said he thought it had.
A letter was read from Mayor Bauss-
ling in which he regretted his inability
to be present at the meeting due to Off
cial duties, but wished to be quoted as
being in favor of any action which
would tend to relieve the condition of
the road.
Freebooter Gottlieb also detailed the
difficulties met with in trying to get
the Hudson members to agree with
them, and added that the Essex dele
gation, headed by Freebooter Driver,
had don all in their power to adjust
matters.
Alderman Biertuempfel and w. II.
r.. Fielder expressed their opinions on
the matter and urged that County
Counsel j. Henry Harrison tell them
where they stood.
when you gentlemen ask why State
Road Commissioner Stevens is not APP
pealed to for an adjustment of the
differences between the boards of free
holders" said Mr.. Harrison, you
evidently misunderstood the situation.
The Plank road is not a State road,
having been acquired by the counties
OF Essex and Hudson. Commissioners
Stevens was appealed to when the
question of which kind of paving would
he used. but this was the result of an
act drawn up by the joint board and
would not apply to the present
tiouble.'
The county counsel went on to say
that he thought the matter was en-

The owner of one of the better thea

This statement is undoubtedly true.
