a recent opinion by Attorney Cen
eral Malone, of Massachusetts is of i'm
terest to cities and towns that have
adopted the plan of oiling highways
to keep down the dust. Mr.. Malone
holds that there is no liability on the
part of he authorities for damages
resulting from the use of oil and tar
on roads. His reasoning is that there
is no more ground for holding a town
or city responsible for injury to cloth
ing or vehicles by oil than there is
for assessing damages when some
body is spa'tered with mud.
