Washington to tar and seal all brick pavements this fall
The city council orders tarvia coating for all brick streets to extend life, reduce dust, and quiet traffic. A 10 000 gallon tank will be used with gravel shipments in the next two to three weeks. West Washington first, then East Washington, North Marion, and other brick streets will receive two coats, the second next spring. New paving is deferred due to material cost and labor.
