Highway Commissioner Of Grams

iment that Promises Well

Highway Commissioner Conley of Gran
ston is trying an interesting experiment
on the highways of that town, using
crude petroleum for sprinkling the streets
instead OF water. In the fall OF 1901 Mr.
Conley determined 10 try the experiment;
of using crude petroleum in sprinklins

Last GUNNER the experiment was ex-
/ tended TO Broad. Cranston and other
streets. all with satisfactory success.
\ During the past week he has put oil on
about 20 miles of Cranston streets and
there has not been word OF disapprovai
from anyone who has occasion to use
these thoroughfares.
That the oil dressing results in an aIs
most ideal condition of macadamied

watering the streets. provided an applica-
