Abstract
Ten years ago the writer made a special study of wooden stave pipe with reference to its suitability for conveying water under pressure, and the principles governing its economic design. The result of those studies he has previously laid before this Society. A description of the use of 7 miles of this class of pipe at Astoria, Ore., has also appeared in the Transactions. That this pipe at Astoria has proven deficient in durability, in defiance of all preconceived ideas as to what may be expected of wood when subject to constant water pressure and buried in the earth, is certainly somewhat startling, but nevertheless true, and the writer deems it a duty to the profession that the facts be made known.
