TO BUY PAINT Highway Board To Paint Signs And Bridges Indianapolis, Ind., April 5. —(United Press) —Bridges, road signs and ceu4 ter lines on Indiana State Highways' are to receive a new coat of paint. | Blds for a year's supply of paint for: the maintenance and bridge divisions J of the State Highway Department are to be opened April 19. The bids are asked on a total of 9.300 gallons, to cost about $15,000, although the gallonage is flexible and subject to requirements of the department. Proposals are asked for 1330 gallons of red paint, 1330 gallons of Brown 1330 gallons of Black, 2210 gallons of white, 100 gallons of black stencil and 3,000 gallons of white pavement paint. The Indiana highway commission has purchased paint in large quantities for the last five years because it costs so much les in large lots, and also because a much more uniform grade of material is received than if It is bought on the opeu market. The paint is purchased on a techni-, cal specification which has been worked out by the highway testing department after years of experience. The paint is shipped to the maintenance men over the state in small lots as needed. Under the contract the factory must keep small lots of paint in storage and send them out when re- , quired.'Thia procedure prevents deteri ioration and insures a fresh and welli mixed material always available. John D. Williams, director of the ■ highway commission explained that . three coats of apint are used on ali • bridges, new or old. The first coat is red lead which pre- ■ vents rust forming. After that two other coats of different materials are put on which protects the metals from water and weather. These coats are ilso of differen colors, which makes it more easy to check up cn their wear resisting qualities. White paint is used for the highway signs and in other places where high visibility is required to protect motor- • ists when driving at night. ■— o — Huntington—Mr. and Mrs. I. N. .
