OIL TREATMENT
Of STREETS
Said by Eau Claire Telegram to
Have Been Success on Eau
Claire Streets.

The OIL says the Eau Claire
Telegram, (which the city has been
testing on some of the macadam
streets, appears to be doing lust
what was promised Of it, and that
was to keep down the dust and to
protect and preserve the street. It
has certainly kept down the dust
completely on the streets treated
with it and that it will protect the
street can readily be seen.
''In fact, the oil looks so good to
the council and the street depart
ment that it is very likely that an
other carload will be ordered by the
city and more of the macadamized
streets will be treated with it. The
council, after the test which has been
given it, and judging from reports
from other cities where it has been
in use for some time, is confident
that it will fill the bill in every par
ticular. Next year it is likely that
every macadamized street in the city
will be treated with the oil and as a
result no sprinkling wagons will be
needed on those Streets
