Deadlines In City Streets.

For the purpose of trying out the idea before adopting it generally, New York city officials have laid white lines of tile and marble, six inches wide, in the pavement at certain street intersections to serve as declines for vehicles. Considerable trouble in connection with the control of traffic by the police has been experienced in trying to get motorists to stop at an imaginary line. With a broad, white marking set in the pavement, there can be no mistake as to where cars should stop. Both tile and marble have been used in making the trial marks to ascertain which is the more durable. —Popular Mechanics Magazine.
