M'KISLEY BOULEVARD IN MILWAUKEE
 ONE WEEK AFTER OILING.
 best Is none too good, if it is not too costly. Our department has endeav- ored to give the best treatment pos sibIe at the lowest cost possible. We have been able to put q carpet covering on our water bound maCadam streets by providing an asphalt finish for from to [ cents per square yard, and by following this treatment up each year We have used 1t on some streets at as low a cost as cents per square yard. At present, therefore, We have few complaints about the cost of oiling streets. The only difficulty we encoun- ter is that in the spring every taxpayer wants his street oiled first.
 Our equipment is very inexpensive. We simply convert old sprinkler wag- ons into oil spreaders with hand valves and gravity spray. We have three sta tionary oil stations located in different parts of the city, each with a tank ca- pacity of 12,000 gallons and fitted with steam coils and small upright boiler All our oil is applied hot, and although We have been told that the cold treat ment is better We think differently on this point. The oil is pumped from the tank cars to our storage tanks with small electric pumps and from tank to oil wagon when the oil is at the right temperature.
 We have a special process for the protection of the oil after 1t has been applied to the street. We do not use screened sand, as 1t costs too much, and a cubic yard of it does not cover much surface. Under our system of shutting off q street for day when oiling too much sand would be required to protect the oil when We open the street for traffic. Therefore some four years ago We started the use of iron ore slag, water granulated, which was procured at a much lower cost than screened sand. Besides, one cubic yard of this material covers as much street surface as two cubic yards of screened sand. The iron ore slag has the same effect in absorbing and finishing up a newly oiled road as cement has when applied on a new asphalt pavement for hardening, cOloring and finishing it.
 4 good road cannot he built with oil, but when the oil Is properly applied a road can be kept in condition in all kinds of weather.

Road oiling in Milwaukee, Wis, is financed by special assessment, says Charles O. Davis, superintendent Of street cleaning, in the American City. Consequently 1t Is essential that we Took sharp" about the cost of such oiling, for with the increase of muni- cipal functions and the corresponding rise in the tax rate the citizens have grown very keen in the scrutiny of special assessments. If the amount spent Is too great or the treatment of the streets inefficient the head of the department will soon become aware of a strong antagonism toward his work.

Sixth Indiana Congressional district,
has received numerous requests from
members of the religious denomina-
ton of Friends, and others, asking

ing conscientious scruples against
war, to the universal military training
bill, which failed to pass in the last
congress-, and which will be brought
UP again in the house, soon.
To inquiries, Representative Com
stock has indicated his intention to
support an amendment making such

many leading Friends is apparent,

their expressed willingness to be of
service to the nation in the present
international crisis. in ways other
than bearing arms.

retirement was to have delayed any
