OIL LAYED THE DUST Alliston people have had an object lesson in oiling the streets this season which they will likely tuck away in their memories with pleasure for use another year. The streets of this town were thoroughly oiled by use of the most approved machinery. To- day, notwithstanding all the rain that has fallen, these streets are still oil- ed and when'sunshine makes dust out in the township there is none in town. Last year a commercial dust layer was used. A couple of rains obliter- ated the substance and dissolved the money spent in the unsatisfactory purchase. Not only is there no dust now; there is a solid clean rock sur- face. Don't frget all these condit- ions, Mr. Councillors, next summer when the dust nuisance comes up for consideration.â€" Alliston Herald. OSPREY COUNCIL Osprey oCuncil met at Singhamp- ton on July 14.
