5 ior wo WILL PUT NO MORE OIL ON THE STREETS, Owners of Horses Petitioned Against Oiling~-The Street Watering Area for the Year Fixed. T That the board of works would dis- continue the using of oil on the streets next season, and fall back to sprinkling them all with water, as in former years, to suppress the dust, wae the decision arrived at at the meeting of this board, Thursday ai- ternoon. A petition was presented containing the names of George Young, of the Shedden eompany, and 125 others, asking tnat the oiling of the streets should be discontinued, and setting forth several reasons for the change. Ald. Carson was in sympathy with the petitioners. He said, when driy- ing over these roads, he always had to be especially cautious and keep a tight rein on the horses, for fear of the animal's slipping and falling. The oil was also detrimental to the paint on conveyances, and the rubber tires on the earriages.

The city engineer has a big staff of men at work, carting snow off | the street. Most of the walks are now passable, but there is one walk that is very bad, and that is the walk through the city park, from Welling- ton street. This walk should be given attention at once, ss it is used quite a large number. The roads the country are still very bad.
