oiIing Is Done There and
Writes Of Cost.

Mayor Moorhead yesterday received
the following response from the mayor

oiling OF streets:
Canton, Mo-, June IL, 1914.
s. w. Moorhead, mayor Of Keokuk,

OF the 18th inst, making inquiry as
to our method of oiling our streets.
! note that You state that you were
informed that our oiling cost about sc
per block, and replying to that por-
ton of your letter beg to say that the
Information is incorrect.
We first used an 5000 gallon car
of Oil on our business streets. which
are &c feet wide, and with this car
we oiled twelve blocks, including the
street intersections, all at total cos.
of about 1915, which, you will note,
makes the cost a little less than s27
per block
We are Just finishing applying a
10000 gallon car in the residence sec
ton, and while have not me exact
figures, am certain that In some
blocks, where grass grows in the gut
tiers. the cost per block will not ex-
coed SIS to SIC; but, of course, on
the blocks that oil from gutter 20 gut
ter. it will cost about s27 per block.
The work is being done by the city,
under the supervision of our marshal
The city owns the sprinkling wagon,
for which we paid $40.
The oil costs US about 81 cents per
gallon, delivered to Canton.
If can be of further service to you,
command me-
Yours truly,

Mayor.
