not absorb the oil. and the street be-
came slippery and dangerous. resulting
in two or three automobiles being more
or less damaged. other cars narrowly
escaping accident, and two or more
motorcyclists being throWa.
AS soon as the first complaints came
into the commissioners office, the fire
department was called upon to wash
the streets where the oil had been
applied. The fire hose failed, however,
and only seemed to make the oil cling
tighter to the pavement

damage suits by motorists. Commits

to call a halt, and he notified those
who had been responsible for pouring
the oil on the streets that the prac-
tice must be discontinued at once.
Nicholson intimated that should the
city be sued for damages. the city
would look to the individual who HAD
applied the oil for recompense
