CITY TRIES NEW
DUST PALLIATIVE,
The city of Medford Is ex
perimenting in dust laying on
gravel streets at the present time
bj using calcium chloride, which
has been used extensively in the
east for a number of years,
Frank Rogers, city superintend
ent, said today, and at the same
time he warned parents to keep
children with bare feet off
streets undergoing this treat
ment for at least two or three
days after application.
According to Rogers, the pro
duct, which resembles rock salt
in appearance, is very irritating
when in the semi-solvent stage
and in the process of absorbing.
During the same stage it is also
detrimental to shoe leather, he
said.
The calcium chloride accom
plishes its dust laying facilities
by its ability to absorb moisture
from the air, according to the
superintendent.
