BOARD WILL LIMIT OILIIIGJFSTREETS There are now on file with the board of public works eighteen street

oiling applications, representing about one-third of the street mileage of the city, and under a motion adopted by the, board of public works today, no more applications of this kind will be acted upon this year. This motion was adopted following the decision of the board to have the streets oiled in strict accordance with the law, a policy not pursued .by the Zimmerman administration last year. Petitions for street oiling will be acted upon the same as petitions for other kinds of street Improvements, and under this procedure, it will be five or six weeks before any oiling is done on streets provided for in petitions now on file. Residents of every street proposed

to be oiled will be notified at once and bids will then be advertised for. Then a date of bearing will be set aside. If the oiling of any street Is successfully remonstrated against no oiling will be attempted. -Bond's Opinion. The board acted on tbe question of opinion by tbe city attorney. Mr. Bond's opinion, in part, follows: "If the city determines to oil a street and charge the expense therefor against the abutting property it should proceed exactly as though 'it were making an assessment for : a street improvement. When the final assessment roll is made and notice given to lot owners, as the statute provides, and they are given the opportunity to pay their assessments made against their property, and they fail to pay the same at that time, the city should pay the contractor, and it the city pays it it is subrogated to the rights of tbe contractor so far as a lien is concerned, and has all rights given by the law which will enable it to foreclose liens. All such assessments are payable in full on the first Monday in November following

the time such oiling waa ion and tbe city is entitled to recover Interest at the rate .of 6 per cent for each owner fro mthe time that it pays any valid assessment until tbe same Is repaid to the city by the party liable. No waiver can be taken for an assessment for oiling." ' Mr. Bond stated that in the case of oiling in front of vacant lots the question of whether the property had been benefited would arise and be would not give an opinion on it.

ORGANIZE BRANCH Harrison township turned out one of the biggest farmers' meetings held In Wayne county last night and organized a strong township branch of tbe Better Farming association electing Arch Lindley chairman and director for the township in the county organization. - There were 108 farmers and their wives at the meeting which was held in the Jacksonburg school house.
