OIL TREATMENT FOR

! ABATE DUST.


Being convinced of the effective
ness Of oil in abating the dust nui-
1sance by the experience of two years
On the business streets of the city, CIT
liens in the residence sections are
using oil for the first time. Oil is now
being applied on River street as far
south as the residence Of A. 7. Davis,
and Oak street south to Bergman
Lane will be the next to receive the
treatment.
Funds for oiling these streets have
been subscribed by residents on the
streets, and the practice should spread
to ether sections. In feet, all the
principal residence streets should be
oiled, a. it is unquestionsbly the
cheapest and most effective way of
keeping down the dust. The cost is
about $40 per block for residence
streets, ana with an average of five
Or six residences to the block, the cost
for each householder runs from five
to eight dollars. Thus the expense is
less than sprinkling with water, even
where water is available, and the re-
suit is much more satisfactory.-Rus-
