some arrangements cannot be made
whereof the streets, can be sprinkled

feared that constantly inhalIng the

of CAR citizens. The public and the
merchants suffer alike from the dust
and there is every reason why Ine
stree1s should be sprInkled while there
is no good reason why they should" not
be. II is claimed that the macadam-
lied streets viii last much lon~~~ wtrer
