OIL IS SCARCE.
So None Can Be Obtained for Use on
 Streets.

It looks as if Willimantic would be a dusty place this summer, as oil, which is usually used to lay the dust is unobtainabie on account of the gov ernment demands for it and it's prod. ucts. Superintendent of Streets A. l.. Gelinas also stated that it would be impossible to keep all of the Willi- mantle streets wet with water as the city has not sufficient apparatus to do the work
 At the last meeting of the board of aldermen a sum of money was voted to purchase a calcium compound to spread on newly made streets, or any that had not been previously treated with oil. Several of the eNorwich streets have been treated with this substance and give good service, but this material will probably be scarce. At the present time there are four barrels of it in this city, but it is likely that enough can. be obtained to cover the streets which have never been oiled.
