A roar is being heard on Merchant
street today, with crude oil and water
the cause OF the roar. The engineer.
ing department of the city and coun.
" ordered the street TO be oiled, and
oiled il was; and now comes the roar,
for all the stores and offices have
shadings of petroleum on the floors,
elegant tile has been made dark and
sticky, and expensive linoleum has
lost its chaste designs.
To put the criticism in the first per
son. one of the merchants, now irate,
is quoted: -.,1.
We just got over one crude oil
epidemic here, and now We have an.
other. Quite awhile ago the supervis.
ofs thought they could pave Fort
street as we'll as Joseph Gilman, and
so they tried. The result was awful
Amy one with business around
Fort and Merchant streets knows how
awful it was.
''The black oil-about four times
too much of II was used d-seeped down
at this corner. A pool of il stood
there all the time. There was no
end of it. We tracked il into build.
ings with us, we chased our hats
through it, we took it home with us
to put new but in artistic designs on
our rugs. s.. .. -.
AT last that awful period was end
