Briefly, in the following pages, the American ... more »Wood-Preservers Association presents facts and figures for those becoming interested in the subject. Further information will be cheerfully given by any of its members or officers see pages 47-55. Reference to the literature listed on pages 56-73 also is recommended. The most comprehensive publications on the subject are the Proceedings of the American Wood-Preservers Association and Howard F. Weiss Preservation of Structural Timber. For the guidance of treating-plant operators, construction engineers, and others interested in the technique of wood preservation, the American Wood-Preservers Association will soon issue the beginnings of a Manual of Recommended Practice. By up-to-date methods and in conformity with the best practice wood can be so preserved that its life is prolohged to at least three times what it would be without treatment. Consumers of wood can figure the savings for their own particular service, after getting quotations from their nearest wood-preserving plant. Large users of treated wood estimate savings as follows Ties, 2 to 10 cents per tie per year piles, 20 to 100 cents per pile per year poles, 5 to 15 cents per pole, per year posts, 1 to 3 cents per post per year mine timbers, 2 to 3 dollars per gangway set per year. iii CONTENTS .
