Take the waste as being one-half

association, which assembled in an
nual convention at the Auditorium
hotel today intends to employ its in
fluence with the railroads to induce
the latter to cooperate actively with
the national conservation committee
with a view to protecting the timber
supply of the country and increasing
IT, To this end a special committee
appointed by the association has pre-
pared report recommending that
steel ties be adopted wherever prac-
ticable and that the timber ties be
chemically treated so as to lengthen
their life. 1t is further recommend
ed by the committee that experiment
be made to ascertain the efficacy of
concrete ties, that measures be taken
by the railroads to reduce the num-
Der of forest fires and that owners be
encouraged to reforest their lands
either by replanting or by natural re-
production
The cause for the recommendations
on the part of the association Is to
be found in the growing emergency
which confronts the railroads with
respect to securing railroad ties. Each
year the increasing scarcity of the
timber adds millions to the cost of
maintaining railroad track and the
price of railroad ties Is rapidly APP
preaching the prohibitive.
