ARE ANXIOUS TO
MAKE THE TEST
Cincinnati Oil Company Makes
City an Even Better Price
Than Before.
CONFIDENT Of SUCCESS
BOARD OF WORKS SUGGESTS
THAT SOME PROPERTY OWN
ERS TRY oILING THEIR
STREETS AS AN EXPERIMENT.
CONFIDENT Of SUCCESS

The Board of Public Works has re-
ceived a communication from the
Good Roads Improvement Company of
Cincinnati, quoting them a new price
on the experimental treating of streets
with oil in this city and which process
was demonstrated to them and a COM
mittee at Cincinnati recently. The
letter states that the company would
like to oil about 5000 square yards of
street, which they will undertake to
do at one-half the price named in
their last letter to the Board To do
this it would take a car load of Oil, on
which they claim they will lose money
but they have confidence in the ulti-
mate result that they are willing to
undertake it. The board however,
will remain with it's original intention
of leaving the matter to the next
board, although they suggest that it
would be good investment for some
property owners to treat their streets
with the Oil as an experiment.

Ed UNDER THE NEW PLAN
TRIED ON LIMITED CARS.

beginning today the old custom of
carrying cash registers on the inter-
urban cars between here and Indiana
polls, will be dispensed with and the
cash fare receipt system be used en-
tirely. The old system of the con-
ductor on the cars ring
ing up fares as they were collected
was very unsatisfactory, owing to the
fact that the registers would some.
times vary from the reports kept by
both the conductors and the head
uarters.
The final setting of the cash regis
ter system also involved great
amount of work on the part of office
force in checking up the conductors
reports. The receipt system, as used
on all railroads and on many of the
interurban roads in Indiana and Ohio
does away with all this trouble.
There is also not as much chance
for the conductor to use dishonest
methods, owing to the fact that a re-
ceipt has 10 be given to each passen-
ger on board his train. The receipt
system has been in vogue on the linn
tied trains between here and Indi-
annapolis ever since they started.

Elizabeth Carr. or Bessie" Carr,
as she was familiarly known to the
young people of her crowd, was one
of the finest and most beloved of

she pursued her education for several
years and returned to Hamilton.

of life made several Journeys to health
resorts during hay fever season, and
had only returned from Europe her
last trip, several months ago.
Two weeks ago it was found that an
operation for acute peritoniis was
necessary, and was accordingly held.
The patient seemed to be recovering
rapidly from the effects of the opera
ton and her sad death came as Sc
we're shock to her many friends.
Miss Carr, by her happy and pleas
ant manner, had won an enviable place
In the hearts of her friends and no So
ciaI occasion was ever thought to be
comflete without her presence.
At the time of her death Miss Carr
was a member of the United Presbyte-
rian church of this city, of which
church she had been lifelong and
faithful member.
Mrs. DunkIe, of Rockford, Ill, an
aunt. and a number of relatives from
Richmond. Indiana, have been notified
and will arrive in Hamilton today.
