s~pondents.
l. In an action brought by a land
owner against the holder of tax certi-
ficates and the county auditor for the
purpose of c~anceling such certificates
and enjoining the issuance of tax
deeds, the complaint is vulnerable to
attack by demurrer where it fails to
allege an offer or tender to the certi-
ficate holder of the amount of the
taxes, interest and penalty due to the
county at the date of the tax sales,
even though such complaint alleges the
invalidity of such sales by reason of an
unlawful combination or agreement
between the bidders thereat to stifle
competitive bidding.
2. Under such facts the land owner
who seeks the aid of equity for the
purpose Of setting aside the sales and
canceling the tax certificates must do
equity by paying or offering to pay
to the certificate holder the amount
due the county at the date of the
sales, but he will not be required to
pay or tender any subsequent interest
or penalty.

Salt as a Dust LAYER.

AS a general rule the roads in and
around French towns are tarred at the
commencement of the summer in order
to abate the dust nuisance. 1t has.
however, been found that tar. although
excellent in the case of macadamiZed
roads. Is of little or no value where
car lines exist and paved street cross
ings intersect the roads in every direc-
ton. as tarring cannot be carried out
on stones.
The authorities. basing their action
on the well known hygrometrical prop
critics of common salt. have made
test of its value in laying the dust.
Twenty yards of roadway have been
sprinkled literally with salt and then
watered freely. If the results are sat-
isfactory, salt will be used throughout
the town of Havre, it being impossible
to tar the majority of the streets, as
they are paved with rough stone
blocks.

MILLIONS LOST ANNUALLY
IN GOOD ROADS WORK
Through inadequate Methods of Con-
struction and Maintenance.

That the United States suffers a d.
rect loss of $4O.O0O.OOO annually on
account of incorrect and inadequate
methods In the construction, mainte-
nance and administration of public
roads is the assertion of L. W. Page.
director of the United States Office of
public roads and president of the new
American Association For Highway
improvement.
This enormous loss Is nothing COM
pared with the indirect loss through
excessive cost of transportation. which
is caused by the burden which bad
roads impose upon the farmers and
others who use the highways, and this
amount. according to Mr. Pages re-
port. reaches the impressive total of
s25O.OO0OOO every year.
The American farmer is paying two
or three times as much to get his prod
ucts to market .as the man who tillS
the ground in Europe, and this added
.ost OF transportation is known to be
an important factor In the high cost
of living problem. France Is said to
use her fine system of roads just one
and one-third times as much as her
railroads for transportation. whereas
in this country the public roads are
SO poorly maintained and administered
as whole that the highways carry
only between one-third and one-fourth
as much produce as the railroads. Road
experts say conditions here and abroad
are almost exactly reversed. due en-
tirely to bad roads.

OILING PARK ROADS.
Methods of Application Employed In
Kansas City.

Methods Of Application Employed In
Kansas City.
The method of applying oil to the
park roads in Kansas City, Mo-. is
said by Superintendent Dunn to be &C.
complished by the use Of ordinary
water sprinkling wagons in the follow
ing way. The wagons are adapted to
this service by attaching tin trough
six inches wide and six inches deep
and long enough to inclose the dis
charge valves. this trough being per
forated with three-quarter inch holes
about one and a half inches apart. The
oil is allowed to flow into this through
the valves and is evenly distributed
over the road through the holes.
Previous to oiling. the macadam
streets are swept and the oil is ap-
piled rather lightly and is covered with
loose sweepings from the street to
prevent. as far as possible. the objec-
tionable features of oiling Applying
the oil by this process is dirty work
and Inconvenience the public for
short time while the road is being
treated
To minimize the latter the depart
ment barricades the section to be treat
ed, combining this to one side of the
street at time. placing the sign
Fresh Oil'' on the barricade. Super
intendent Dunn gives the following as
the cost of this treatment: Total area
oiled. 7SO,O66 square yards; total num-
Der of gallons used. 213. 4S5: cost of Oil
per gallon at distributing tank.
S0O2171: total cost of oil used. 81. $685.
