OIL ORDERED FOR
ROAD IMPROVEMENT

The Boulevard will for one more
year be a pleasure" drive
for the ever = increasing number
of auto owners of this city. Eight
thousand gallons OF oil were ordered
by the local committee on Monday.
About five thousand gallons of oil
will be used on the Boulevard and it
is planned that the remaining three
be used to improve other roadways
on which the traffic is heavy.
The finance problem has been under
way Of solution for several months,
and has now been placed in the hands
of the motorists. 1t originated in the
City Council, where a committee was
appointed to ascertain the amount
that the property owners along that
way would subscribe; one hundred and
fifty dollars was raised. The city then
voted one hundred dollars to the
cause. And now a local committee of
women are asking the automobile own
ers to subscribe the deficit of n
hundred and fifty dollars. The mo-
florists are answering SO readily that
the oil was ordered without the amount
required on the treasurer's books.
