Transmission limo poles and cross
arms treated with creosote oil are
less liable TO destruction by fire than
untreated timber OF the same kind.
This appears to be due 10 the fact
that the fire carbon deposited by the
burning oil on the surface of the tim
Der affords some protection from the
action of the fire. A committee APP
pointed by the National Electric
Light association of New y ork city
conducted series OF experiments
on similar specimens Of treated and

conclusively that the latter suffered
considerably more. damage from the
effects Of fire than the specimens that
