PRAISES OILED STREETS

A former resident of Winamac hearing of the proposition to oil streets in Winamac writes in praise of the system as found in Indianapolis. “Capital avenue,” he says, “has been oiled for the last two or three years and it is as hard as stone and ;ver dusty. . The street is fierce for three or four weeks after the oil is applied and oil is tracked every place, but the street is surely great for the rest of the time. “Thp boulevard at Riverside park was oiled last summer for the first time, I think the oil was pmt on twice but there has been no mud or dust all this winter and spring nor last fall because of the oiling. Both Capital avenue and Riverside boulevard are made of crushed stone like Market or Montipello streets in ''rinamac.T—Winamac Republican.
