Beckman the council voted to set the cost of road oiling at 80c per foot to be paid by abutting property owners on each side of the street. The city will pay one-third of the road oiling cost by furnishing! w i ,-l I the labor and equipment to lay it. The cost was figured on the basis of a 20-foot oiled strip. Councilmen voted to give priority in the road oiling program pro-gram to streets on which the abutting property owners iniat-ate iniat-ate and complete the signing of a petition requesting same. The property owners must also pay their share of the road oiling costs to the city before work will commence, councilmen emphasized.
