8 Owing TO the scarcity of oil, there is
some doubt whether Burlington's streets
twill be oiled this coming season. If oil
- could be obtained, even at the price paid
Atiast year. it would be cheaper to use
\ It than to sprinkle the streets with water
s~but II II IL not obtainable then the only
.ssnlternative- will be to sprinkle, despite
the increased cost. Two applications o.
oil last year cost about $12 400. and THU
y, Pearl and other paved streets with water
ri which cost about $500 additional.
