QUESTIONS BEFORE sELEcTMEN.
Monday Nights Meeting the First Under
New Schedule-Road Commissioners
Department Under Discussion.

Only a small amount of business came
before the board of selectmen Monday
evening This was the first regular
meeting to be held on Monday, the
previous board meetings being held
Thursdays. 1t was announced that State
Highway Commissioner c. w. Gates
would be here Friday, March o. to meet
the road commissioners of the county
and that he would bring with him a
lecturer from Washington, d. c., who
would give a stereopticon lecture on
road-making. Attorney II. G. Barber
came in for few minutes and asked
that the selectmen notify him when a
hearing was given the Connecticut River
Power company on it's petition, not yet
presented, to trim shade trees on Cherry
street on the property of e. A. Knudson.
The trees overhang the street.
Road Commissioner d. T. Perry was
present and he and the selectmen had a
heart to-heart talk regarding the quail
fications necessary for the man who will
be the next road commissioner. The
selectmen announced that they would
consider the matter of appointing a man
at the next regular meeting ]. E. Mel
len, the new member of the board, said
that before appointing a man he would
want to know how he stood on the mat
ter of repairing the sidewalks on Elliot
street. The selectmen said they would
work with the man who was appointed
for the best results to the taxpayers.
John Strand and August Johnson
came in and wanted to know what the
town purposed to do toward the con-
struction of the proposed new street
from West to Crosby street. This mat
ter was given some attention last year
by the selectmen and ii was decided To
build the street, but work was held up
because the Swedish church on Strand
avenue wanted 800 for the land and a
tree which would be taken by the pro-
posed improvement. The town offered
the trustees $25 and nothing has beer
heard from them since. survey has
been made since then and it was found
that the tree was on property belonging
to the town. Mr.. Strand and Mr.. John
son said that Road Commissioner Perry
began work on the street but did not
complete it. Mr.. Johnson stated thai
the road commissioner did not follow
the stakes driven by the surveyors anc
that when he builds a fence in the
spring ii will be in the middle OF tina
part of the street constructed by Mr.
Perry. The selectmen promised Mr.
Strand and Mr. Johnson that they would
take the matter up with their appointet
as road commissioner.
Up to Monday night six applications
had been received for the position OF
road commissioner The applicants are
| Mr.. Perry, II. e. Shipman, c. M. Ham
| ilton, r. II. Briggs. H. S. Goodenoush
and Charles w. Puffer

Robert A. Lawrence, Rutland Lawyer,
Electrocuted.

Robert A. Lawrence, SO, one Of the
most promising young attorneys of Ver-
mont, was electrocuted in his home In
Rutland Sunday morning. His wife heard
him utter cy$ in the bathroom, and on
rushing th(fe found him standing in
several inJhes of water in the bathtub,
with boU hands grasping the electric
light figure on the wall. In pulling his
body away from the fixture she sustained
an electric shock Mr.. Lawrence was
evidently killed instantly. The cause OF
the accident has not been satisfactorily
explained, as the wires were of low volt
age and a shock under ordinary con-
dtions would not be sufficient 10 cause
death. Two physicians were summoned
Immediately, but there was nothing that
they could do. Mr.. Lawrence was son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. George r. Lawrence or
Rutland. He graduated from the Univers-
ity of Vermont in 1892 and after study
ing law in his fathers office was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1901. He was state $
attorney Of Rutland county from 1904 10
1908 and during that time handled several
murder cases and other important mat
tiers. He prepared the case against Eiroy
Kent and assisted at the trial. AT the
time of his death he was attorney for two
large marble companies. He married
Miss Mary Stickney, daughter OF w. b. c.
Stickney, the widely known lawyer,
April 25 1911. He also leaves his parents
and a brother Edwin W., of Rutland. He
was a member of Centre lodge OF Masons
in Rutland and of the Delta Psi frat
ernity at the University Of Vermont. Mr..
Lawrence was a very effective pubic
speaker and was the man selected TO
present John A. Mead's name before the
last Republican state convention, when
