black gum, beech and maple are also
used. The blocks are sawed from
long sticks Of timber and are treated
in huge steel cylinders from six to
seven feet in diameter and one hun
dred feet or more in length. Creosote
oil is run into the cylinders and pres
sure Is then applied to force it into
the wood. The oil is a product OBJ
tanned in the manufacture Of coke
and its purpose Is to prevent decay
Of the wood, and also to prevent
shrinking and swelling Of the floor
after 1t 10 laid. The blocks are laid
with the grain vertical, so that the
most wear-rcsistant surface is ex-
posed and usually on concrete foun-
dation. The joints or cracks between
the blocks are then filed with hot
paving pitch or asphalt which binds
the many separate pieces into one
continuous surface. According to ex-
perts, the cost Of creosoted wood
block floors averages about $3.50 per
square yard for the blocks alone and
about s2.40 per square yard for the
20 auilted floor"
