ROADS BENEFITED BY
USE OF CRUDE OIL
Supervisors of Santa Barbara County
Satisfied With the Ex-
pertinent

SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 1.-The Coun-
ty Board of Supervisors has adopted the
use of oil for sprinkling all the roads of
the county and the plan has proved very
satisfactory. The oil, mixing with the
dust, forms hard bed similar to an as
phalt pavement and it serves two pur-
poses-one to lay the dust and another
to prevent mud during the wet season.
Yesterday F. w Mattern, who claims
ling roads with oil and, incidentally, to
have a patent on oil used for such pur-
poses, demanded from the Board of Su-
pervisors that they pay him $15 mile for
every mile sprinkled with oil or $3.50 lor
the use of his patent. He claims that it
was with much difficulty that he secured
a patent on oil used for such purposes.
Chairman Deadrick of the Board of Su-
pervisors refused to listen. to his de-
mands, thinking that one might obtain
patent on salt or fresh water used for
street sprinkling purposes as well as on
oil. Mattern says that unless the board
listens to his demands and pays him his
just right he will attempt to enjoin the
Supervisors from further use of oil for
sprinklng purposes.
