Travel on the Streets of Frederick
town will soon be a pleasure instead
of a source of distress. Workmen are
busy applying to the streets most
used, 10000 gallons of oil and every
body is enthusiastic W the work.
The present plan includes the oiling
of the public square and the streets
most used near the square. However
the interest with which the plan has
been received makes it almost GER
tain that the principal residence
streets will be treated as soon as the
matter can be reached. The work
outlined will probably be finished by
the end of the week. Before the APP
plication of the oil, the streets were
graded and placed in fine condition.
The result of the first trial of oil as
remedy for the dust and as q street
preservative will be watched with in
terest by all.-Fredericktown Demo-
