RUTLAND ROAD IS
TO ELIMINATE
PIKE CROSSING
Is Dangerous Point On Ben
nington Branch Line
HEARING SET FOR AUGUST rs
Portion of Present Highway VIII Be
Closed In Order TO Build
Undcrpass

The necessary papers have boen
served en- First Selectman Frank M
Crawford as representative of the
town and upon the property owners
involved in petition by the Rutland
railroad TO the public service commits
sion for the abolition of the Pike cross
ing. In its petition the railroad com
pany claims that the crossing is a
dangerous spot on the Bennington
branch railroad and should be eiimi
mated.
The hearing on the petition is fixed
for August 20 at the Putnam house at
9 o'clock in tho forenoon. The prop
erty owners interested in the changes
that will be necessary are Leon Per-
cy, Simeon Percy Elmer Mwell, Paul
c. Cornell and Wheeler Rice.
According To the plan submitted by
the company and which is made a part
of the petition, it is the purpose to
abandon about 800 feet of the present
highway eading to South Salisbury
and to build a new section to the west
Ct the present read in order that a
better grade may be secured for the
underpass which it is proposed to
build.
There was considerable aglta. ion
for the elimination OF the crossing at
the time of the fatal accident on Aug
ust Ia, 1905, when Miss Evelyn F.
Willing, aged 32. OF Chicago and Har-
ris p. Linsley, 81, deputy police com
missioner of New York city, were kill
ed while attempting to cross the rail-
way at this point in an automobile.
Ambrose Cramer. jr., of Chicago, Il
cousin of Miss Willing, and Jesse
AdamsCn the chauffer, were both in
jured but nOt seriously.
The accident attracted considerable
attention at the time for the two reas-
ons that il was the irst OF lis kind to
happen in Vermont and one of the
first fatalities resulting from train
and automobile collisions in the coun-
try. Added interest was attached to
the event because of the political and
social prominence of the victims and
the fact that they went to their death
but 4 week previous to the date set
for their marriage at Manchester.
