Board of Public Works, The following report was received and placed on file.
Gentlemen:- My experience with road oiling is as follows:
The average amount to use
at one application on streets or roads is 1/3 gal -to sq. yd.
Dirt streets nee d more,
tiiile some kinds of macadam take less. The 600 gal. tank,Road-Oiler covered about 4/10
of a mile, g ft. wide. Approximately 1500 gals Na.4 Road Oil to the Milej,8 ft.in width.
My estimate on total expense of oil and of labor applying same is about 3 cents per sgy
yd.A common lot 50 ft. frontage,(say oil the street 24 ft wide)each lot would have
50X12' A-600 sq. ft. or 66-2/3 sq.yds.®3 cents is 2.06 per lot others in proportion
Second oiling is necessary the first year. Very Respectfully,D•C.LAYTON,St.Com.
President.
