WORK REMOVING WINTERS SCARS FROM CITY
STREETS IS EXPECTED To START SOON, DAVIS

to fill such depressions is expected to
start shortly.
Such a winter as the one we have
just experienced is harder on the
streets than a more severe winter be-
cause there is no ice to protect the
streets from the constant pounding of
traffic. Then, too, the fact that the
street is wet, renders it more liable
- damage, as water softens the mate
rial" said Mr.. Davis
Within two or three weeks petitions
TO have streets in various sections of
the city treated will be circulating and
it is then that the early petitioner will
get the dustless, water-proofed street,
for in the city engineers office it is

Water-proofed street surfaces. with

very reasonable is borne by the prop
erty owners. The exact amount of
such cost is not known for this year
as yet.
Prof. r. c. Woman, secretary of the
Indiana Sand and Gravel Producers
association, has been SO favorably i'm
pressed by the results of using gravel
in Richmond streets, as set forth in
an article in THE American City,
March issue) that he will make a spe,
ciaI trip to this city to inspect the
work.
The article, which was written By
Dell B. Davis, describes in detail the
manner of putting gravel on Richmond
streets. The article in part is as fol

ADVISES CHEMICALS
Be USED TO PREVENT
SCAB IN POTATOES

Use Of corrosive sublimate is recon-
mended by County Agent ]. L. Dolan
for prevention of scab in potatoes
which causes considerable loss in
Wayne county.
Although much of the Wayne county
potato acreage has been planted, an
other carload of certified seed has been
ordered. and this. with the late plant
ings, should be treated in order to be
on the safe side. Corrosive sublimate
treatment also has the advantage that
other diseases besides scab are elm
mated by it.
To use the poison, seven ounces Of
the powdered corrosive sublimate are
put in boiling hot water in a glass can.
1t is then poured into so gallons of
water Barrels with faucets for drain
ing off the fluid are filed with uncut
potatoes, which are then covered with
the solution.
After soaking an hour and a half
the solution is drawn off, and potatoes
spread out to dry. An ounce and a
half of the sublimate must be added be
fore another treatment of the next lot
If potatoes have sprouted the time OF
treatment must be cut down to half an
hour. Wooden vessels must be used
exclusively

TABERNACLE uSHERS
TOLD ABOUT DUTIES

Duties of the ushers at the Billy
SUNDAY tabernacle We're explained by
Fred w Rapp, Mr.. Sundays business
manager, to about 100 men, Wednes-
day night, at a meeting held at the
tabernacle.
I'VE have no place for the ultra con
scious person as an usher" said Mr..
Rapp. You must at all times be cour-
teous and friendly.
Ushers can make or break the meet
ings more than any other organization
in the tabernacle"
Mr. Rapp told the men that they
should avoid permitting people TO
roam the aisles during preaching ser
vices; should see that all mothers with
babes in arms are directed to leave
their children at the nursery in East
Main street Friends church while at
tending the services, and in case OF
sickness, see that the person affected
is quietly and quickly remoV ed to the
emergency hospital built as part OF
the tabernacle.
Each usher is responsible for the
six rows of benches in front of his
station. Mr.. Rapp said. and he said
that persons should be urged to take
seats in the center of the benches
providing there is room. In no case
shall q person be permitted to take
an end seat if there is room in tie
middle of the bench When a person
takes an end seat and holds it, il
means that other persons must clint
over them to reach the center OF the
bench.
you will find that people will wan

seats are filled, the ushers in charge
of those benches must sit down a.

THE RADIO
Since pa put in the radio we have a

We hustle to my room upstairs rs

Then says: wait just a minute, now,

Now don't you move thing.

While you are trying all the time to

Then pa takes up the thing awhile
and says: ooh that's Just great
a man is telling stories now. You kids
will have to wait
It's wonderful to think his voice is
floating in the air
And people sitting in their homes
can hear it everywhere

led to the decision to use that mate
rial for roadways. The gravel was
laid to a depth of Il inches. Cobble,
stone cutters were laid at the same
time and were later replaced by a
combined cement curb and gutter.
Partly because of the slight differ
ence in elevation of the outer edge OF
the new gutter and partly because or
natural wear during a period OF 20
years, these streets became hat, ne
cessitating resurfacing.
at was the practice of the city to
handle this resurfacing with crushed
stone at its own expense, but in 1918,
because of increase in the price OF
stone and freight, resurfacing with
that material became prohibitive, and,
not wishing to discontinue the repair
of streets, we decided to return to the
use of gravel and to continue the same
Gravel Rolled.
"The old gravel surface was first
| lossened to a depth of three inches
| BY a scarifier attached to a 10 ton
/ roller. The new bank run gravel was
spread in one course to a depth OF
/ from four to five inches. A finished
| crown OF ABOUT OIle-Hdll llCn W LILC
| foot was attained After thorough h2r
rowing the gravel was dampened ard
rolled.
After once setting it with the roll
! Ter, it was then thoroughly wet and
rolled to a finish. On the final rolling,
the surface was brushed by steel
brush attached TO the roller; this was
! instrumental in filling the voids of the
larger aggregate and giving the sur
| face a smooth pebbledash finish.
For successful results it has been
our experience that the gravel surface
must be hard and comparatively
