The experiment of allaying dust on
public streets by oil treatment carried
on last season by several cities, proved
so successful that it is to be used more
extensively this summer. Road oil was
tried in Delavan last season, and car
has been ordered for this. Geneva used
large quantities last summer on gravel
and dirt roads, and is to use more this
summer. Madison is to oil practically
all of her streets and Milwaukee has
bought oil in large quantities. Road
oil can be bought in car lots at 81 cents
a gallon, freight paid. One gallon will
cover 2 square yards, Is square feet.
1t should be put on in warm dry wealth
er. 1t can be applied with common
garden sprinkler. One application will
be sufficient for season. 1t requires
less oil the second season. Why may
not the property owners of Edgerton
club together and purchase car load
of road oil? By measuring the travelled
street in front of your residence it is
easy to compute the amount needed,
and when the amount reaches 5000 gal
Ions a car can be ordered A few dol
lars and little work will make you
dust free.
