 Through the perseverance of John s. Sanford. who represented residents and also the East Pearl Street church, the fine black and oily top dressing in East Pearl street was scraped off on Tues day and will be carted away to the dump. This top dressing has proved a great failure. It has pulverized very fine and the black and oily dust has blown into houses and the church, and made an almost endless amount of trouble. The material was taken from the rolling mill and contained quite q percentage of oil. All interested in the l improvement wish to thank Director ICoe for his prompt action in removing this top dressing when he was request ed to do so What is needed now is the Iraising of the crosswalks and putting a thin top dressing of fine stone on the roadway.
