Curb Resident Streets and Oil

Civic Club May Take Up Matter

AS IN CALIFORNIA.

Another idea for civic Improvement
en- the North side has been suggested
bv J. r. Spetter, an active member OF
the Civic club, and may be taken up
with the city commissioners by the
club. 1t is making cement curblng
along the resident streets, and treating
the dirt roads in the First ward with
oil.
The club has taken some steps to
gain the attention of the county COM
rnissioners toward oiling the ROADS
leading to the North side. This mas
brought the matter of oiling the
thoroughfares in the city to the mlno
of Mr.. Spetter and others, and the
matter may be brought before the next
meeting of the Civic club. Mr.. Spet-
ter saws that in California the city
streets were so treated and thus made
an effective pavement at comparative
ly little expense. His plan Is to treat
q certain strip of road with oil, har-
row it, roll it and harrow it again, ar
ter a. cement curbing has been made.
IT think such treatment would
make a fine packed roadbed," said Mr..
Epetter 1T would be especially adapt
