An experiment on the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe railroad, dating back
to 1881, which shows that 40 per cent of
fifty Colorado pine ties were yet in the
track after II years exposure, indicates
that the average life of ties treated by
the zinc tannin process will o be less
than II years. Unprepared oak ties cost
about So cents each, and some IS cents
more for hauling, distributing and lay
ing, making a total of 70 cents each.
Hence, as they last s years, their average
annual cost is e.oo cents. The Burnett
lied ties are said to cost II cents each
under like conditions, and as they last II
years, the annual average charge is 6
cents, thus indicating an economy of
$3.50 cents per year per tie, or, when
2,64o are laid per mile, of $e6 per year
per mile of track.
A Card of Thanks.
