our country dances. Mind you,

was ahead of him, he didn't

among the Indians is the record
that will be achieved on May 80

in 1888 the building formerly

It was stated that nothing
definite has as yet been decided
as to just when the oiling will
be started. But the city clerk
revealed that actual oiling can
not possibly begin before July
or August, when the tempera-
ture Is reaching its peak Of
summer heat.
The necessary funds have
been raised by sale of city bonds
and this money Is to be used
for machinery or any necessary
equipment for oi1ing, Mr.. Cook
stated.
Included in the present plans
for oiling are the streets from
Third, north to Eighth, and
from Center avenue, west to
Miles avenue. The main travelled
streets in this territory that
are not now paved will be oiled
and improved with curbs and
cutters.
More definite plans will be re-
leased as soon as full particul-
ars are known.

STREETS NOT TO BE OILED BEFORE
JULY OR AUGUST, CITY CLERK SAYS

Hardin motorists will have to
continue to endure the many
detours, choppy roads, high
centers, and blocked driveways
that have appeared over the
entire city, until the time
when they are ready for the
long-awaited coating of oil,
which will transform the streets
to smoothly paved lanes, accor-
ding TO City Clerk Melvin Cook.
However, it is generally ag-
reed that the elimination Of
dust, cars mired so that chly
q tractor can release them, mud
everywhere in spring and those
unexpected bumps, will be well
worth the inconvenience caused
by the road machinery which
now hampers pleasant and d.
rect travel.
At present, the city, aided tn
the county, is excavating and
graveling streets which are to
be oiled In the near future. such
work Will continue until the
roads are made ready for oil.
