recent opinion by Attorney General Malone of
Massachusetts is of interest to cities and towns
that have adopted the plan of oiling highways to
keep down the dust. Mr.. Malone holds that there
! is liability the part of the authorities for
damages resulting from the use of oil and tar on
roads. His reasoning is that there is more
ground for holding city responsible for
| injury to clothing vehicles by oil than there is
| for assessing damages when somebody Is spattered
| with mud. Among nearby places that have taken
| to employing oil highways is Yonkers. where
| the splendid macadam in North Broadway has
been heavily sprinkIed with crude petroleum. much

| sasts.
