The 600 gal. tank,Road-Oiler covered about 4/10 <br />of a mile, g ft. wide. Approximately 1500 gals Na.4 Road Oil to the Milej,8 ft.in width. <br />My estimate on total expense of oil and of labor applying same is about 3 cents per sgy <br />yd.A common lot 50 ft. frontage,(say oil the street 24 ft wide)each lot would have <br />50X12' A-600 sq. ft. or 66-2/3 sq.yds.®3 cents is 2.06 per lot others in proportion <br />Second oiling is necessary the first year.
