A new ten ton, single cylinder gasoline rotter waa ordered and haa already arrived. The city decided that a gasoline rotter would be much better than a steam one because of the total absence of smoke. Tho old steam roller that hae been In use for the past twenty yean ban at laat refused to run. Now Oil Spreader*. Another addition made to the equip- ment to the pureh&se of two new oil spreaders that have been attached to the rear of the street oiling wsgone. This new contrivance ton marked lm-1 provement over the old one. Perfor- ated pipes were formerly used but did not scatter the oil. Thto meant that a man had to follow tne wagon and sweep the oil over the etreut. The new spreaders will make thto unnec- essary as the oil to forced out of little noxslea under strong pressure. The amount of oil to be used can be regu- lated automatically. The men working on the oil wagon* have been busy du/ing the past few days attaching the new apparatus to the rear of the wagona. Within a few daya the oiling win be continued with the new spreadera. Much time will be saved by the use of the new de- vlcea. A REQUCST.
