has handled this year some 625.o0O. Ex-
tensive planting Of trees and shrubbery
for ties. lumber and ornamental pur-
poses is being made on land owned
by the company in various parts Of
the states Of Pennsylvania and New

In order to provide still more COM
pletely against the future. a contract
has just been placed for the construc-
ton of a tie treating plant at Mt Union
Pa, and in addition. for two large
creosote storage tanks TO be located at
Greenwich Point, Philadelphia. Pa.
It is estimated that proper treat
ment will increase the life of cross
ties from two 20 three-fold. Applied to
all Of the 1O0.OOO,OOO ties which Amer
ican railroads use annually, It would
greatly reduce the drain on the rapidly
decreasing timber resources. The Penn
sylvania Railroad alone uses from g.
500 600 TO 100000 ties each year for
renewals and new work. The average
life of these red oak and chestnut ties
under present conditions is from three
to four years. while white oak lasts
from seven to eight years. 1t is esti-
mated that tie-treating will increase
the life of these ties 10 at least twenty
years The Pennsylvania Railroads

lumber strips the timber from $4,000

TO PROLONG LIFE

viii Build Plants For
the Purpose

For the purpose OF prolonging as
long as possible the life Of cross-ties
and thereby minimizing the consump-
ton Of timber, the Pennsylvania Rail-
road has determined in future to treat
with creosote ties which shall be used
on its main tracks. Up 10 recently, the
abundance Of available timber in the
eastern section Of the country had rem
dered unnecessary such a policy, but
the increasing scarcity of available
timber in recent years has caused the
company to make a thorough inquiry
into the question Of what policy should
be pursued to secure an economical
supply OF cross-ties in the future.
To this end the company, some two
years ago, undertook tree-plantine
upon q large scale. Since that time
II has set out some 2,425,0o0 trees and
