WOULD EXPERIMENT WITH CRUDE OIL
AS MEANS OF SOLVING DUST PROBLEM
IN ALL THE STREETS or THE CITY

The following contribution by c..
W. Barnekov is of unusual interest to
every citizen of Perth Amboy at this
time:
If there is one question that comes
up annually with so little practical
solution, it is, how can we get rid of
our dusty streets? Some little relief
is had when the sprinkler gets to
work. Even that is not always per-
manent, and only benefits the business
sections and then for short time
after being sprinkled it is simply
mud. Nothing is done to relieve the
side streets.
1t is nice to have paved streets and
have always been in favor of them
and am glad efforts to better our
streets by paving themsare now being
made, but it is hard to tell how long
it will be before our entire city is
paved. 1t may take years. While we
wait, the mud is tracked in from the
ones, and still we have dirty streets.
Perth Amboy is not the only city
that has had this trouble. But, differ
ent from our city, others have over
come the difficulty by using crude oil
on their streets and roads. l have
been watching this matter for the past
two years In California the use of
oil on the streets and roads has passed
the experimental stage. Its success
is attested by the thousands of miles
of roads and streets in the state that
are either oiled or for whose treat
ment plans are being made. Nearly
every municipality in California is
engaged in improving it's residential
streets with oil. Oil has been used
on the macadam roads of Golden Gate
Park IN San Francisco, with salts
factory results. Only four or FIVE
days after the application was; the
odor offensive and the people do not
complain for it only required one
sprinkling a year. These driveways
have sustained an enormous amount
of travel, being among the most popu-
lar ones in the park. The people find
no objection to the smell, for only
Immediately following application is
it at all disagreeable. What you hear
most is: EXTEND the oil roads. 4"
There is no dust in summer No
mud in winter. 1t is said that after
driving over it for several hours there
is no trace of dust or sreck of oil on
buggy or clothing of driver, that it
becomes like an asphalt road, for
Perth Amboy evening news. [volume] (Perth Amboy, N.J.) 1903-1959, 1903-05-14

asphaltum is large component part
of crude oil.
From the National Oil Reporter
/ gather few facts as follows: The
cost of treatment of a mile of road
for three years, at the present price
of oil in California will not exceed
$500, of which one half will be ex-
pended the first year. The best re-
suits have been obtained where two
applications were made the first year,
one the second, and one the third.
After that it is only necessary to keep
the road in repair. OF course, on our
streets it will be necessary first to
have the mud rolled down good with
a big heavy roller before putting on
the oil. At a recent convention of
California municipal officers, the city
engineer of Fresno, where streets and
roads are being oiled extensively,
gave an estimate of the cost of oil
averaged 70 cents barrel, 125 barrels
being required for the first applica-
tion, and 80 to 70 for the second,
making total cost of about 5000 a
mile. The cost of water sprinkling q
mile in Fresno, where the summer is
long and dry, had been 500 annually.
In view of these facts that oil is
being used successfully by other
cities on their streets, l think il
would be well for our city council to
look up the matter to see if our city
streets can be improved by being treat
ed with oil. 1t would not be neces.
sary to go into it too deeply at first
One block of street could be treatet
to see how it worked. 1t might be
feasible to get the business men to-
gether to contribute to fund suftic.
lent to pay for enough oil to treat two
or three blocks of the business portion
of the city. / do not think his con-
tribution will amount to as much as
his yearly loss now is, from having
goods spoiled by this constant dust.
Our oity has now grown to such size
that better and more thorough methods
should be adopted to not only provide
good streets, but to maintain and keel
them clean, which will be a difficult
thing unless something is done abou'
the DUST and mud. It's Just as essen
tial that the side streets be better
looked after than in the past.
l would like to see an experiment
made with oil and will contribute m
share towards fund for the purpose
if the merchants will do the same.
Respectfully,
@. w. BARNEKOV.

Called.

There is to be special meeting of
the mason bosses and the members of
Lathers Union No. 173 in Dana Hall,
Smith street. The fathers went on
strike week ago for $2.25 per thous-
and laths, which the bosses refused
to pay. The men were offered 50. 90
which they refused to accept The
union says it is now willing to meet
the bosses half way.
AS many of the mason bosses are
said to be paving what the fathers ask
and they are all working with several
weeks more anead of them, the boss
es, who at first refused to pay the de-
mands, are now willing to talk with
the men. At the meeting it is most
likely that all the trouble will be
settled.

upon. He thanked the mayor for his
recent action in ordering the main
thoroughfares cleared of the many
obstacles and he said the people would
thank him again if he would have the
streets cleaned and kept in repair as
well. He also condemned the 'bloat-
ed corporation" for the way they
have been allowed to dig up the streets
without returning them to the same
condition.
Joseph Stricken said he was very
much interested in Smith street and
asked that sewer be laid through
ii q entire thoroughfare before any
other improvement is made.
E. W. Barnes and others asked why
streets like Smith and State streets
could not be repaved at the general
expense of the city. The laws of
New York, it was said, provided that
where the people had once been
assessed for an Improvement it was
customary for the city at large to
stand all additional expense for i'm
provements. The property owners Of
Smith and State streets, he said,
would never stand for another assessa
ment.
Before adiourning Mr.. Harrington
brought up the subject of having the
dock of the Staten Island ferry changed
from Smith to Fayette street at the
expiration of their lease. A resolu-
tion to have the matter looked into
was referred to the Committee on
transportation.

AAO AOpOAb VI buO MuulClphl OOm =
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
made at the. Joint meeting of that
body with the Board of Aldermen in
the City Hall last night, precipitated
an interesting discussion for the i'm
provement of the streets of our city.
The report was received and the
recommendation adopted at the be-
ginning Of the meeting. but after
wards was reopened for discussion.
The report recommended that the
streets now under consideration by
the aldermen be paved with the addi-
tion of High street from Washington
street to the river, using asphalt. The
report said further:
1.-The cost of paving a street varies
with the nature of the soil. The
approximate cost of paving per square
yard to be for stone block, $3.50 to
So. %; asphaltum, 50. 90 to 50. %; brick,
50. 90 to 50. 20; macadam, 81. 45 to 81. go
and curbstone 40 to go cents per lineal
foot. -
Rev. ]. L. Lancaster was among the
first to speak when the opportunity
offered. He objected to the paving
of Water street, not because he was
against all the improvements possible,
but because Water street. had not been
properly graded, neither was it pro-
perly severed.
James Growney also came in with
an objection to the paving of Wash
ington street, claiming that the in
come from properties there did not
warrant the investment.
Mr.. Lancaster said that unless the
law under which they proposed to
make the improvements, changed the
method of making the assessments
and the manner of collecting them by
making il easier, it would be a long
while before the public would ask for
any improvements. Judge Lyon
quoted the law upon the subject. II
provided for the assessment to be fix.
ed by commission appointed by the
court and the length of time for the
issuing of the bonds was ten years.
but that interest on all assessments
was at per cent.
Postmaster g. H. Tice asked City
Attorney Hommann why such high
rate of interest was charged by the
city when lower one would do just
as we'll. Mr.. Hommann said he be-
lieved that such law was passed to
make it an inducement for the people
to pay up promptly even if they had
to borrow the money to do it.
In relation to the Improvement of
High street, Mr.. E. M. Kelly stated
that it would cost $40 per running
foot on either side to pave it with
asphalt. Taking it into consideration
that the street was 80 feet wide he
did not consider it very high.
J. P Holm spoke of his experience
in western cities. They had gotten
into the same position as Perth Am
boy and after considerable agitation
finally decided to foot the bill and to-
day they are the leading cities of the
west.
