NEWPORT MAN
LOSES LIFE in
CLYDE RIVER
Leaky Boat Submerges In
Icy Water With Load
of Four Men

Elmer Hauver was drowned in
the Clyde River at Newport this
morning at $50, and three other
men barely escaped with their
lives when the boat in which they
were crossing the river submerg-
ed, and they were thrown into the
icy waters Only one could swim,
and the others clung to stump
for an hour. Mr.. Hauver became
exhausted, slipped into the water
and was drowned.
Eugene Glover, George Lothrop
and Herbert Hauver, the brother
of the dead man, were cutting and
clearing for d road on the Prouty
land, little way north of the old
Cleveland quarry on the East side
of the river.
The boat used by the men was
an old fiat bottomed affair and
leaked. They had used it before,
however, and considered it safe
enough to convey them over the
river. Swollen by the heavy rains
of the past few days, the river
was running high and the current
was strong. The boat was carried
out of its course. 1t then began
to leak and filled with water so
rapidly that it sank with the four
men.
George Lothrop, son of Fred
Lothrop of Newport, was the only
one who could swim. He manag-
cd to reach shore. Divesting him

be altered. No state aid is available
for bridges other than those on
State selected roads.
Commissioner Dix called atten-
ton to the law requiring that
covered bridges shall have opening
cut in them so that the view of the
road will be clear for botn APP
proaches to the bridge.
FIVE PER CENT TAX
The speaker explained the law
regarding the five per cent State
highway tax. This tax is paid into
the State treasury by the towns
and is then reapportioned among
them for road work. Other explain
ations were made on special ap-
preparations to take advantage of
State aid for road work The com
missioner urged that selections of
location for road work be made
without personal consideration en-
tering in. He suggested that new
road work be doae to connect up
pieces of road already completed
in order to have continuous
stretches sa far as possible; also
that those roads be elected for i'm
provement which break up traffic
early in the pring and late in the
fall; and that, further, the Il. F. D..
routes be given special considera-
ton in these selections, as well as
routes which have the heaviest
travel.
CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
Mr.. Dix recommended fine grav-
ell, that from which the larger
stones has been removed as sur
face material for road building. He
said that this will increase the first
cost of construction, but will save
money later on. A drag cannot be
effectively operated on a road fill
ed with big stones. The roadway
below the surface of three or four
inches should be of the best mater
ial available in the locality in
which the road is being built.
Commissioner Dix also recon-
mended theuse of larger culverts.
The usual size has been from eight
to 10 inches in diameter. This is
large enough if they are kept open
all the time, but that Is a hard
thing to do, so it is better to have
the culvert from y to IA inches.
Sub-grades require rolling with a
heavy roller in order to have them

ANXIOUSLY
WATCHING THE
CONNECTICUT
Local Conditions Improv-
ing and Passumpsic
River Is Receding

While the Passumpsic river
steadily receded from its flood
stage Wednesday the Connecticut
kept on rising and was reported 10
inches higher at Bradford at
O'Clock Wednesday night and five
inches higher at Ely at the same
time. Railroad men and others VII
tally interested in the rise and fall
of the water are fearful that the
! flood has not reached its height
, in the lower Connecticut valley
and that the worst may not be
over.
AS far as the Boston & Maine
lines in this section are concerned
the interruption in the service is
all between Wells River and Brad
ford. One of the three culverts
that was washed out, has been re-
paired, but aside from the two
open culverts the track is under
water in long stretches in two
places. 1t is hoped to be able to
resume the service between Wells
River and White Rever Junction
before night. South of Bradford
there has been partial passenger
service as trains are run from
White River Junction to Bradford
and then turned around at the lat
ter point. This is the same method
that has been employed between
st Johnsbury and Wells River on
the two morning passenger trains
and the northbound mail and the
southbound evening trains. The
trains southbound leave st. Johns
bury on time, but are are a little
late returning. However, the pub
lie realize that the railroad is up
againt difficulties and are very pa
tient and accomplishing.
The trouble below McIndoes was
at the foot of the high embank-
ment where the highway runs at
foot of the embankr:ent and close
to the river. The water overhowed
the highway and v Neakcncd the en-
, bankment necessGtating great eau
ton in running the heavy trains.
No trouble was experienced and it
/ is believed that the danger is over.
At Bellows Falls the situation
is still rather acute as the Connec-
ticut rose at that point several
inches during the day. This
brought the waters very near the
railroad tracks and the b. & NJ.
tunnel.
