Concrete Pipe Being Placed
Around Piling of Com

In order to protect the cYeosotcd
piling. which serves as the foundation
for the Communicates wharf. the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Company is placing concrete pipe
around each piIing which protects il
from the toredO and other wDrlns
which destroy the pilinG as soon as
the creOsOte becomes weak
The concrete pipe Is being made on
TarragOnd wharf by the Lock Joint
Pipe Co, of New York J. Q. Curry
is in charge Of this work and will this
week complete the order OF 5000 feet
This Will be placed as an experiment
and if it proves successful. as is eX-
pected, all Of the piiing Of the three
WhaTTCs of the Louisville and Nash
Vile here will be similarly protected
Each section Of the concrete pipe Is
moulded in two parts in order that il
may be adjusted around the pilin%.
The sections are so moulded that they
fit together and are held fast by Il
metal key which locks the two Dor
tons Each section fits into the bell
of the preceding one, being somewhat
similar 10 sewer pipe. The first sec
ton is driven into the sand and the
others built up until they reach the
surface of the water at high tide. 1t
is claimed that by this means it IS
impossible for worms to reach the

While concrete pipe to protect pill

other points. this will be the first test
in Pensacola.
