oILING NEW LONDON ROAD. Inspector Donovan Begins on a Mile
 at Waterford End.

County Road Inspector John Dono- van on Wednesday finished oiling Jef- ferson avenue, in New London, and made a start on oiling the New London turnpike. beginning at Allyn place. There is a mile to be oiled to the Wa terford town line. The job will be a slow one. as there IS a long carriage to fill the oil tanks. The oil furnished by the state is showing the New London people what can be done with the right kind of oiling. They are experimenting with a number of different kinds, none of which are proving satisfactory. In- spector Donovan states that the oil used on the state roads leaves the road in such condition that it can be driven over five minutes after the oil has been applied. He is also oiiing a road at Lyme. where the carriage is six miles. The tanks used from which to sprinkle the oil on the road contain 500 gallons.
