OIL WIEL BE USED ON
 STREETS THIS YEAR.
Only Brick and Block Pavement Will Be SprinkIed-Connectie Company Will Pay for Oil Between Rails.

It has been decided that the use of water on the streets will be curtaied this year as it was last and that oil, winch proved so effective in keeping down the dust, will again be used on all but the block and brick pavement, which cover but small section of the city.
 The public works department. will do the sprinkling for all the streets, put ting on the oil for the railway com pany between the rails, or that section which the company is required to sprinkle, the company agreeing to fur nish the oil for that section. It was the proposition of the city that the sprinkling would be done by the city if the company agreed to use oil and provided it's share. It is expected that some of the oil will be here so it can be used before the first of May.
 By using oil instead of water there will be 100000 gallons saved, which the city is obliged to give the railway company for watering the streets the required distance. The city has in pre- vious years made contract with them for sprinkling the streets the full width, which was at the rate of $S a day, with a bonus of about $500
 After the streets have been oiled early in May they will be oiled again in August, which it is thought will carry them through the season and keep. the dust down. It is probable ;t will take 24 tank cars and tke cost will be practically as much as by the use of the water, but it has proved more satisfactory and millions of gal Ions Of water are saved.
 Putting Streets in Condition.
 The street department is engaged in getting the streets in condition for the oil. In North Main street, from the Marguerite north, stone is being put on the road and it will be continued it's entire length to the city line. The railway company is doing it's share of the work and after that is completed attention will be given to West Main street, so they will be ready for the oil.
 The usual work of cleaning the streets and putting them in shape is under way in Crescent, Broad and Union streets, where a new street scraping machine is being used It is here on trial and Is pronounced a de- cided success by all who have seen it. The machine, which weighs about ton, scrapes the dirt out of the gut ters and distributes it on the streets, filling up holes and leveling off ridges leaving the street in fine condition when 1t has finished. It is a machine which would be of much use to the city if it is decided to get one.
