Old RAILROAD TIES.
trc often Herd TO Dispose Og-Sug-
gesttOns Welcomed


Piles of wornuut crosS-ties in process
f heine burned mp by repair gangs are
fairly familiar sight along railroad
rights of way Every now and then
income observing this practice writes
4 letter to the management of the rail
road, or more often to a newspaper. pro
2Sting against what ne SuppoSes to be
needless waste and raising the ques-
ton why the railroad companies do not
'llow people to take the Old ties for
eucl or find some other use for them
The question is not IN unnatural one,
md Samuel Porcher. general purchas-
ing agent of the Pennsylvania railroad
answers il as follows;
In the first place it is far from true
hat all the old ties are burned \ con
fiderab,e number are constantly being
sold to persons living on or near the
light of way. who bury them at nominal
1rices, usually 10 or IL cents apiece,
ind use them for firewood.
Such q method of disposal is lracti-
able only in those eases where the ties
oan be delivered at 4 public crossing or
Their point where they can bee obtained
safely by the users. and where the cost
Of 50 delivering them Is not greater
than the nominal prices obtainable. The
company cannot sanction the public go
ng pr0mScuously over tracks and
through yards TO gather up old ties
Such treSpaSsing has been the cause of
about half of all the fatal accidents on
railroads in the United States
Efforts have been made to interest
dealers in firewo8d in buying the old
lies. but not thus far with much sue
cess. The causes appear to be that the
ld ties are often dirty; that they con-
ain more or less stone. grit and Stag
vedged in the c.acks which might in
iure the saws in cutting them: that in
many cases They are partly decaycd
that they arc dried out and that their
fibre is more or less crushed so that
shey burn out TOO quickly.
Efforts have also been made to dis
pose Of old ties in number of other
ways, including sale for wood pulp pur-
poses, for the extraction of chemicals.
or burning and sale Of the ashes for
fertilizer and fors manufacture into
charcoal, but without success in infer
esting parties engaged in these occupa
tions
The management viii welcome any
suggestions 10y which more Of the old
ties can be usefully DISPOSED of or made
available for commercial or industrial
purposes.-New York World
