If the board of public safety would
keep this in mind, when ordering
signs installed. 1 am sure we would
not have signs placed behind posts.

Both places have the signs behind
posts, and some more that l don't

It has been scraped loose. piles
Of dirt left in the street, goes for
weeks without oil; then in the fall

condition until scraped loose. Dust
is terrible, just as it was last sum.

There is little hope for oil on this
street. because the supply Is almost
exhausted, Mr. Fixit was informed.
DEAR MR.. FIXIT: Twenty-First
St. between Harding ST. and Z.
| Riverside DR.. was scraped and
cited this week but not enough oil
was put on the street. The tank
made one trip down the street and
that a fast one. The loose dirt in
| the center of the street has now be-
come spread over the top Of the oil
after two days use and the street
is almost as bad for dust as 1t was
J before.
Harding st. Is being improved and
there is only one place where It can
he crossed between Twenty-F'irst
st. and Twenty-seventh SITS. so It
makes traffic very heavy on Twenty
First st.

They spread the oil thin because
the supply is low. it was said at
the street commissioners office.
Property owners on forty other
streets face the prospect of having
no oil at all Better half a coat
than no coat at all.

promise of the board of health that
