COLORED CONCRETE TO BE USED ON DUAL-LANE ROAD

will be made on the new dual-lane section of U. S. 40 to be built between Indianapolis and Cumberland. The use of colored concrete will be confined to the low, rounded curbing or island which will separate east and west-bound traffic. Dus to the impossibility of obtaining sufficient rght-of-way to provide a parkway between the two twentytwo foot traffic Janes, highway engineers designed the low curb oir island to separate the two lanes. This island, four feet wide at the base and two feet wide on top, will rise four inches above the surface of the pavement nn either side. The three colors—white, yellow and natural will be used 5n the sloping sides of the island with black used on top.

A very short stretch of public road in the northwest comer of Washington township, at present on the farm of P. G. Hoopengarncr, would be vacated and relocated, according to a petition that was considered by the county commissioners at the meeting on Monday. They aopointed viewers, who are Harvie Smith, Fred Quarry and Gene Cooper, who are to report to the commissioners at their next meeting. The road would be located on the farms of Harry Hoopengarncr and Jesse W. Davis, if the change is made and these two land owners signed the petition to have the change made, as, also, did P. C. Hoopengame, on whose land the road is now located. Thirteen landowners in addition to Mr. Hoopengarncr signed the petition asking that the change be made.
