its main street designated as a county road for we are thereby relieved of paying for the annual oiling which is come to be a necess ary expense these days of motor traffic the town of alliston oiled their main roadways this year and the cost was 750 some 6000 gal lons of oil was spread in less than six hours with the proper machinery it is a very easy matter to oil a large area in a short time and as long as the oil lasts several thousand gallons can be spread every hour the steel oil tank mounted on a motor truck is provided with a furnace at its base and at the side of the tank is an air compressor which operates from a gearing on the wheel of the truck the tank is filled with oil and the fire in the furnace quickened in a short time the thick oil is as thin as water and the truck is run a short distance with the air compressor working the pressure of air is let into the tank and when the outlet is opened the force actually dries the thin oil into the dust and the surface of the road every particle of sur face is covered and there are no puddles of oil when the sprayer has passed over 88 ye yo notes on july 2nd serious auto accident stouffville lodge no384 meets every monday
