That opinion la given by (Robert A.
Burch, traffic engineer for the 'North

Works Commission. The Commission
adopted the yellow line ait the urging
of Eurch last October, and during the
summer monlhs it first came into ex

ways. , ' j
Cold, weather puts a halt to center-line
painting. Low temperature
slows drying of the paint, and it is
harder to handle in the sprayers; -
Reporting on i this year's vork,
Burch said 12.00Q. miles of white center-line
had been painted before xold
weather made the work taper off this

Please, asks Burch, don't cross the

- The trsSc engineer also has anoth
er concern. " He wants title highway
traveler to realize that the yellow line
in his lane means for him not to pass

less. The yellow line is a warning of
potential danger. v V - -

Division on some bond roads. It costs
about 20 cents 'more per gallon than
