In the winter time the white painted lines which indicate street crossings for pedestrians remain visible for about a month. Then they begin to fade rapidly, and each wet, muddy day sees the painted lines becoming more and more obscure. They are now being repainted. This is a costly business, as no sooner are all tlie crossings attended to than they have to bo gone over again. In London this cost, has become so oppressive that, the London County Council is now putting down speciallymade strips of white hardened rubber, which arc held in position by the bitumen pavement. The value of the rubber marking is that it stays white, and washes fairly clean after each muddy day.
