Oil Company Tells How To Properly Oil the Streets.

Monticello Journal. Messrs. Loughry Bros, recently wrote to a large independent oil firm for instructions in regard to oiling streets. They replied at length and gave it as their opinion to use a light grade of oil and put it on warm. First, clean all the loose dirt off the surface and have it level. Then sprinkle the oil on while it is warm, going over the road twice. Then, after this sprinkling has sank into the road, to go over it and break up the crust that had formed, and give the road another sprinkling. They estimated that it would take a fifty gallon barrel to 110 square yards, at a cost of eight cents per gallon.—Monticello Journal.
