City officials tour Sarco paving trials in Decatur and Lincoln
In a dawn excursion led by Martin and Watts, city officials inspected Sarco filler used in brick streets. The party tested asphalt versus brick on Church Street and observed quieter sound, with bricks showing mixed wear while asphalt promised longer life. The group then rode a Glide car to the State Fair Ground, noting speed and terrain, before continuing to Decatur for further evaluation.

Local dealers provide price comparisons showing declines in brick, cement, and millwork, and experts expect a rebound to pre-1907 value as the economy stabilizes.
