ABOUT LAYING DUST
Letters from Keene and Greenfield on
Subject Soon Coming Up for
Consideration Here.

Secretary Carl S. Hopkins of the
board of trade has received some more
letters relative to the cost and method
of LAYING the dust, which will be of in
terest in view of the special village
meeting which has been called for Fri
day night to consider this question.
The secretary of the Keens CONNER
ciaI club writes as follows: s'Street
sprinkline is done on thoroughfares
where ma iority of the abutters ask
for it by petition. An assessment of
So is levied on each abutter, irrespec
tive of his frontage, and added to his
tax bill On well-shaded streets the use
of calcium chloride gives satisfactory
results and tasscoiI also has been used,
the cost of these materials being about
the same for one application or an
average of OF per square yard
Last year one application was sufficient
for the season, but this year we were
unfortunate enough to apply tasscoii
a short time before heavy rainfall
and the result is not as satisfactory as
it was last year, so another application
will be necessary. When the streets are
properly treated with these dustlayers
watering is not necessary. | may say
that tasseoil gives much better results
on gravel than on macadam roads. The
! 50 assessment does not cover the en-
tire cost of street sprinkling, but there
! is no suggestion of raising the amount.
as | suppose it is felt the city owes
something to the people in the way of
doing at least a small part towards
keeping the streets free from dust.
A letter from the secretary of the
board of trade in Greenfield, Mass.
says: q Under a Massachusetts statute
which has been adopted by the town of
Greenfield, the sprinkling of streets is
paid for by abutters. An account is
| kept for the season of the expense for
water, team hire and labor, and this
is apportioned to the abutters in pro-
portion to the number of lineal feet
which they own upon the street The
total cost is determined from an ac-
count kept by the man having the
street sprinkling contract and at the
end of the year this is figured upon the
tax bills. Some of the streets in Green
field are sprinkled with oil and some
with water. Where oil is used, the ex-
pense is divided in equal shares be.
tween the town and the abutter, as il
is reasoned that the highways them
selves, the maintenance of which il q
town expense. are benefited by the
use of oil. The expense of oil is cal
culated to be about four cents ner lin
cal foot. The expense of water sprink
ling varies from two cents to 21 cent.
per lineal foot, depending upon the
number of times per day that the street
is gone over. There are some streets
which are sprinkled but once dav

MAY HAVE ANOTHER
OFFICE TO FILL
If Alderman Is Selected by Portland
Board, Governor Will appoint
His Successor.

That a dark horse may be in the run
ming, and at a strong pace, to succeed
Il. r. Alderman as state superintendent
of public instruction If that official is
successful in landing the superintendent.
.cy of the Portland city schools at the
election called by the Portland school
board this afternoon, is fresh topic of
gossip in educational circles today. The
man has become the cynosure of the
eyes of those who have advanced this
opinion is W, B, billiard, who has been
an assistant in the office of Superin-
tendent Alderman for about two years.
While billiard has been in close touch
with the educational affairs of the
state he has not been mentioned among
the long list OF candidates to succeed
Alderman. However, in the claim Of
certain knowing people, the fact that
billiard has a past record in educational
work that strongly recommends him for
a place higher than he now holds, may
nave a strong influence on the governor
when the appointment is made. Dillard
is favorable to the policies of the ad-
ministratiOn.
Assistant State Superintendent Carl
ton is considered strong candidate on
account of his long association with the
work of the office and his knowledge
in detail of the state school system.
However, Carlton is not believed to be
as strictly in line with the policies Of
the administration as his cO.worker,
billiard.
Two veteran educators Of eastern
Oregon, both friends of the governor,
stand strong chances, C. +. Bragg,
county superintendent of Union county
is in line and j. A. Churchill, who for
25 years has been superintendent of the
Baker schools, may be favored with the
appointment. 1t is known that either
of these men would accept,
Prof. Joseph schaefer, of the Univer.
sity of Oregon, has been mentioned. He
has not, however, made a run for the
place, and it is not a certainty that he
would accept, were it offered to him.
He is a veteran educator and author Of
several widely recognized textbooks on
history and civics. Professor schaefer
made a special study of these subjects
abroad.
