yesterday. there will be no oiled streets
this year. owing to the impossibility Of
getting the oil. There are about 60 miles
Of highways in and about Burlington that
have to be taken care Of in the matter Of
laying the dust. and last year the oil
method proved the cheaper. To water
the streets means an expenditure of about
$4,000. The government has taken over
the oil supply for oil-burning steamers and
that reduces the amount Of oil for private
use.
