CHEAPER SEALING
LESSER-USED HIGHWAYS For the coming tar-sealing season the principle of a cheaper and lighter seal for lesser-used highways has been formulated by the Public Works Department. Printed standard specifications for this sealing coat, suitable for direct application to macadam surfaces, will be available to local bodies next month, and advance information has been sent out in case local bodies have tar-sealing plans or proposals for the coming season.
This light tvpe of dusticss surfacing is not intended to supersede the heavy priming coat method used on more important highways, but is expected to provide a cheap, lasting method of scaling highways of lower traffic intensities.
