OIL ON THE STREETS.

Manager Spencer of the Jen-
nings Electric Light and Power
Co., said Tuesday that he would
untertake the task of sprinkling
as many of our streets as the pro-
perry owners desired at cost not to
exceed $25 PET block and that he
would guarantee to keep down the
dust. The Texas crude oil is being
successfully used in many towns
as q means Of keeping down the
dust and as q public disinfectant,
because as such it has no equal.
In some places it is being used as
a disinfectant for outhouses, sew
ers and the like.
Mr.. Spencer ssysthat the use OF
Oh on our streets would mske
them almost like macadamized
streets. in addition. to the dnstlsy-
ing qualities. He says that the
oder arising from theoil all dissp-
pears after twenty-four hours and
that the danger from fire has been
greatly exaggerated. The oil even
in bitches needs a very hot fire to
ingite it. When used as a dust
layer the oil needs replenishing
in from one to three weeks de-
pending upon the smout OF travel
on the street. At the price asked
by Mr.. Spencer the oil would cost
about the same Rs water.--Jen-
nings Times.
