VERMONT HIGHWAYS

State Highway Commissioner
Bates Tells of Vermont Roads
and the Work that is Being
Done in His Report TO the
Legislature.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1917-01-26

The ninth biennial report of State
Highway Commissioner Stoddard
Bates is an interesting pamphlet on
Vermont's highways. Under the
head of General Effect of the Law
in Operation" Commissioner Bates
says:
"The law, in it's entirety, seems to
meet the conditions in Vermont as
we'll and better than any other that
has been proposed. 1t still main
tains its popularity among the voters
of the state, who appropriate the
money in the several towns to take
advantage of its provisions.
1--WE are each year connecting up
links in the system of state roads,
and now have several thro lines that
are largely improved.
"Act No. 129 of the Acts of 1915
has enabled this department to cor
relate, to large extent, its highway
work with bridge work on state
highways. Weak and narrow bridges
are being replaced with approved
forms of cement, or other construc-
ton, of a proper carrying capacity
and width of roadway, and with a
proper connection with the high
ways.
''The towns, thro their officials,
are considering the road problem
more and more, from the broad
standpoint of the state.
I'm the minds of many, the road
problem is one of construction. In
reality, the problem has shifted from
one of construction to that of main
tenance. The latter is not only the
question of the hour, but also the
most serious one from every stand
point. Consideration of our road law
should be had with this fact actively
in mind"
The commissioner recommends
that consideration be given to the
Federal Aid Road Act, and the pres
ent legislature will doubtless act on
this matter. The report has several
fine illustrations of highways, bridges
and culverts, showing the good work
that is being done throughout the
state, road map and is altogether
a very valuable report.

Freight TRAINS COLLIDE
Freight Trains on Grand Trunk
Railway Collide at Dixville,
Que, Killing One Brakeman
and Damaging Rolling Stock.

Eastbound and westbound freight
trains on the Grand Trunk railway
were mixed in a wreck at Dixville,
Que, Sunday night.
1t is reported that in the train TAX
ing the siding was car which had
left the iron and swung around
enough to reach the main line, and the
passing train hit this damaging the
engine, wrecking the car and hitting
brakeman Goslant, causing his death.
The engine was cleared of pipes,
pumps and cab on the side striking
the car, and the engineer bruised
but not severely injured.
The wrecking train and crew from
this station cleared the track and
traffic was not long delayed.

ADMIRAL DEWEY
Eloquent Tribute Paid to the
Memory of the"HerO of Manila
Bay" by Congressman Dale i'm
the House of Representatives.

"Mr. Speaker, the passing of the
chief of heroic figures in this Nation
and the ranking naval officer of the
world is announced by the President
of the United States in message to
the Congress.
admiral George Dewey was a
native of the State of Vermont and
was appointed to the Naval Academy
from what is now the second con-
gressional district of that State.
From his home, under the shadow
of the dome of the State capitol, he
went youth from the mountains
out upon the seas. After 40 years
from the steps of that capitol he be-
held the largest throng of people
ever assembled within the State as
they welcomed him home with the
acclaim of the glory of his achieve
ment. That was a long period of
time between those two dates. Even
so, it illustrates the primal element
in the character of the man, that by
the restriction Of his energy and the
confinement of his study to the one
purpose of his life through all these
years he became thoroughly equip
ped for the victorious response to
the great requirement of his country.
"rhe records of history may be
searched without finding like il
lustration of the man meeting the
event so completely ready.
These are the perfected qualities
of the soul of the man.
Discipline-to obey the superi or
command that sent him away from
that which in equity seemed to be
Lis opportunity.
Courage-to convey his fleet over
the waters that might at any mo
ment engulf it as Habana Harbor
did the Maine.
Skill-to maneuver and operate to
the annihilation of the Spanish
squadron, and the loss of not one
United States marine.
Poise--to maintain the rights of
international law amidst the provo
cations of the German fleet and to
keep the welfare of his country above
his own ambition when the full flush
of victory was upon him. [Applause]
'To the Navy and naval affairs he
devoted his whole life and during
the later years he gave the inestima-
BILE benefit of his experience to many
sessions of Congress down to the
present. With no attempt to become
conspicuous in other positions, he
| passed from his achievements follow
ed by the homage of the whole
people of his country to the glory
that awaits him over the unknown
sea. [Applause.]
'"lhe deeds of his heroic life are
history, and of it the Nation is justly
proud. The spirit of such life lives
Oman inspiration forever.
1T is a glorious reflection that
this Nation has given such an in
fuence to all the world, and beyond
that stands the superlative fact that
Vermont gave him to the Nation.
| Applause.

Dewey Memorial Service at NOra
Wich University.

A 11.15 o'clock Saturday morning,
simultaneously with the services at
Washington, Norwich University at
Northfield, Vermont held a
short memorial service for the late
Admiral Dewey. The services were
held in Dewey Hall (named for
the AdmiraD and were simple in
character. There was prayer by
the university chaplain, songs by the
cadet corps, and an address by the
Hon. Frank Plumley of Northfield.
The Admiral is an alumnus ofNor-
wich university and it is especially
fitting that che university should do
him honor. He entered the univers-
ity in 1851 and remained until 1854
when he received an appointment
for Annapolis, entering that institu-
tion in September, 1854. AT the time
that Dewey was a cadet at Norwich
the institution was at Norwich. Ver-
mont; and it is reported that young
Dewey used to take a prominent
part in the bridge fights between the
cadets and the students of Dart
mouth who were just across the
river at Hanover.
At meeting of the Political
Science club at Norwich university a
short time ago all present declared
themselves in favor of universal
military training. The men were
somewhat divided as to the value of
such training in high schools and the
amount of credit for training at
military schools and colleges;but the
universal opinion was that universal
military training was the only right
kind of preparedness and must come
sooner or later.

TICKET SALE BEGINS

Tickets for the Senior class play,
what Happened to JONES'" which
is to be staged at the Grand theater
Friday, April 13, were placed on sale
today. Each student in the class
was given number of tickets to sell
and a regular systematic ticket SELL
ing campaign was begun. A special
feature of this campaign is the meth
of reserving seats. Every seat in. the
house is to be reserved and anyone
wishing to reserve seats may do so
by taking a ticket to Netzer's drug
store, where seats may be reserved
without additional charge. This
method makes it possible for every
one to be assured of a good seat at
the regular price of fifty cents for
adults and thirty-five cents for stu
dents.
Tickets may be bought as we'll as
reserved at NetZer'S.
The rehearsals, which have been
going on for two weeks, indicate that
the play will be a big success. The
music will be furnished by the Or
pheus orchestra.

body all the reforms and dogmas of

that has seldom been reflected upon

San Francisco at period just pre-

used as the climaxing incident of a
