DOWNING NOW WANTS OIL.
Declares It Is the Best for Sprinkling
Boulevards.
J. F. Downing, a banker, wrote the board of park commissioners yesterday that he has undergone a change of heart as to the practicability of sprinkling boulevards with oil. Last year he protested against oil on Armour boulevard, but he says he has now discovered his error and requrests that oil be used on that thoroughfare "to keep down the dust and preserve the work that has been done on the boulevard."
