CITIZENS Want
STREETS OILED
Property Owners Take Ad-
vantage of New Plan En-
ployed by City.

Quite number Of petitions for
street oiling have been filed with the
board Of public works, President Ba-
Wis said today. The majority Of the
petitioners have made no objection to
the rule that each petition shall be &C.
compan!ed by a guarantee. signed by
one or more resident property owners,
that the city will be reimbursed the
cost Of the oil placed on the block
Il anticipate that as soon as the
work OF oiling Is started there will be
. flood Of petitions" Mr.. Bavis said.
N''I also believe this plan Of having
the city oil the streets and the bene-
fitted property owners paying the act
ual cost of the oil used. Is the first
step toward having street Oiling done
1T the entire expense of the city. This
could not be done this year because
there was no appropriation for such
and expense. I think the city could
well afford to oil all streets at its own
expense because oil is splendid pre-.
servative of streets"

very reasonable figure.

her before this afternoon or evening,

navy yard today. II stated that the
officers engaged In the salvage work

the submarine are still alive. The rea-

Little by little the naval tug Navajo
and the steamer Makaala edged TO-
wards shore dragging with them the
sunken submarine, to which their lines
had been attached as soon as the boat
was definitely located.
Finding it impossible to pull the
submarine to the surface. the Navajo
flashed a call to the Pearl Harbor ma
val station for derrick and crane. This
was sent at full speed by the station
commandant.
In the meantime the Navajo ana
Makaala dragged the F.4 toward shall
lower water. This was necessarily
slow work as the sea bottom where
the submarine sank is rocky and ex-
treme precautions had to be taken to
keen the little boat from smashing
against these and crushing in her
sides.
