Monon Officials Wish to Learn Value of Creosoted Ties.

The Monon’s big creosoting plant in South Bloomington is turning out creosoted crossties which are to replace all the old wornout ties on the system. Each tie put down is to be tagged by a spike on which the date is marked. By this means the road officials expect to learn whether the expense of creosoting will pay, and whether there is really as much preservative power in creosote as is generally believed.
