Cedar Rapids Public Improvements Commissioner David L. Williams urged residents to avoid burning leaves on oiled streets this autumn. He warned heat damages oil and creates holes, and urged burning on concrete or gravel surfaces away from gutters. Williams noted 91 375 gallons of oil were poured over 13.52 miles of streets in summer, and the oiling assessment deadline was extended to Sept. 23 at a city council meeting.
