Widely Known Road to Be Taken Over

boro Attorneys.
Automobiles no longer will be charged
a toll for passage over the Peru turnpike.
The road will be taken over by the state
anyway within a few months, and after
that all traffic will be free, but until
then the toll road proprietors will have
the privilege of sitting on the fence and
seeing automobile parties 90 by.
The supreme court of Vermont has de-
cided that it is not legal for the Peru
Turnpike Co TO charge toll of automo-
bilcs passing over this widely known
stretch of road information to that
effect having been received by Attorney
Robert e. Bacon of the states counsel
yesterday from Sherman Moulton of
Burlington, reporter OF supreme court
decisions.
Moreover, inasmuch as automobile
tolls are Illegal it would seem that per
sons who have paid tolls on automobiles
might be able To recover them by legal
action if they felt 80 disposed.
1 When Allen VI. Fletcher was governor
the legislature decided that the state
should take over the old toll road, the
last remaining one in New England and
\ in due time legal proceedings were held
To determine the value of the franchise
which is the property of the Peru Turn
/ pike Co., John J. Flynn OF Burlington be-
ing the principal owner.
Two prices were decided upon, the
maximum to be paid in case it was de
cided that ii was legal 10 collect toll on
automobiles. ON the principle that the
! franchise would be worth more under
such a condition, and minimum to be
n paid in case it was held otherwise
The Peru Turnpike Co claimed that il
was entirely within its rights to collect
n toll from automobiles, while the state
contendcd that the company's charter
did not confer upon it the right to asses,
automobiles. The states contention was
that the company could collect toll only
from pedesTpns. and such vehicles Il,
were 4 ccitrtda in mr. s -chArr5e'r, -
After a hearing before Chancellor
\ Frank l.. Fish. at which Attorney Gen
eral Herbert G. Barber and ATTORNEY
Robert c. Bacon appeared for the stat,
and Attorneys r. C. Archibald of Man
chester and Rufus +. Brown Of Burling
ton represented the company, the chan
cellor decided that automobile tolls wcr
collectible and that the company was en-
titled TO the maximum figure.
From this decision the state appcale,
10 the supreme court, and Thursda,
that body filed its decision reversing tn
decision OF the chancellor, which mean
that automobiles go free and that tn
minimum price for the property will b
1 paid by the state.

EXPECTS CALL
Commander Lewis Says His
\ Men Will BE Ready When
Wanted

Commander ]. r. Lewis. Of the
Michigan naval militia, said Tues
day, that he was expecting a call
to get the naval militia In condition
for immediate service In the event
that war In actually declared be
tween this country and Germany
Simply on the breaking on OF dip.
lomatic relations be doesn't expect
to be called 10 the colors. but he Is
convinced that the Michigan citizen
seamen would be called at once.
There are more than 10000 va.
cancies on American warships. |"
said Commander Lewis. "and the
Michigan naval militia would be
needed TO all some OF these places.
In fact. am convinced that we
would be called al the very out.
break OF actual hostiiities"
Commander Lewis said that he
has talked with many members OF
the naval militia and he says they
are highly enthusiastic about the
prospects OF being called In case
they are needed. He believes that
n the call does come the militia will
respond with the keenest enthusi.
asm almost 10 a man.
As the naval militia Is made up
TO a large extent OF men who have
important private business affairs 10
manage. war for these men would
mean great personal sacrifices. but
despite this fact Commander Lewis
said he believes there would be no
"nunkers" In the ranks.
II Is recalled that when the Mich.
igan naval militia was called on,
for duty during the Spsnish.Ameri.
can war. the men sprang 10 arms
with the greatest enthusiasm. Mich.
igan furnished the richest set OF
sailors that fought In the war. In
the list OF those from Detroit there
were 10 who were either million,
aires or heirs apparent" TO that
much money.

wards became secretary OF the navy
