TARDY SHIPMENTS DELAY
 oILING STATE ROADS.
Highway Department Explains-Has
 2,oooo00 Gallons Ordered.

Delay in oiling the state roads has been attacting attention, but no ex- planation has been offered. This has led to inquiry at the state highway department, with the result that infor- nation has been obtained that the state of Connecticut has ordered for immediate dliyery two million gall Ions of road oil It is also ascer- tained that the railroad deliveries of this have been very slow, the ship ments being held up outside the state for some reason. The matter has now been taken up with the interstate commerce commission to see if there is any reason why care of oil con- signed to the state of Connecticut should not be sent through promptly. There evidently is no trouble after they once come over the state line, but deliveries have been made of one or two cars at a time. and in some cases d month or two has elapsed from date of shipment before receipt.
