+,a n will doubtless be necessary to revise the
foregoing figures, but the cheapness OF concrete
must be disregarded until something Is known
about its lasting qualities. A few weeks ago
a short paragraph was printed py many news

Ties. whose greater elasticity exposed the rlglu
concrete tie to special strains. Moreover, the
Lake Shore road still has about three thousand
more of these ties In place, and some or them
were laid fully three years ago. When they are
arranged in continuous succession, says Mr.
Rockwell, they seem TO meet all the require

the case has not yet been decided adversely to
concrete. as might have been supposed.
An enormous variety of steel ties has been
tried In the last twenty years. Some, IL not ALL
of those which have failed have failed because
of an incidental feature, and not on account
of an inherent fault Those which were lntro-
