Order L-335---Directions 1 to 8 Amended

(Continued from Page 6)

Formerly, Direction 2-A applied to mills cutting more than 1O thousand board feet per day. The amended Direction alsb explains how Class I consumers account for receipts of western pine in the fourth quarter of 1944 and in the first quarter of 1945.

Provisions of Directions 1, 3, 4 and 5 requiring mills larger than the stated sizes to give preferential treatment to military orders remain unchanged.

Direction 5, as amended, prohibits mills and distributors from delivering, and consumers from receiving, without specific WPB authorization, any No. I common and better grades of 8 species of hardwoods produced by mills cutting 5 thousand or more board feet per day of 'hardwood lumber. Species affected by Direction 6 are White Oak, Red Oak, Birch, Beech, Pecan* Rock Elm, Hard Maple and tough White Ash. The restrictions also apply to special grades which are the equivalent of No. 1 common or better and to mixed grades which include No. 1 common and better. Military requirements for these grades of these species have increased, and production of these better grades of hardwoods has fallen off, WPB officials said. Military'requirements exceed anticipated supply for the first quarter of 1945, they said.

Special certificates, in addition to the regular certificates required under L-335 must be used by consumers in placing purchase orders for the afiected hardwoods. The form of this certification and the form used by distributors in extending purchase orders, are given in the direction.

Direction 7 now permits only low grade lumber and the culls and rejects to be sold on uncertified orders. Formerly all lumber not covered by Directions 1 through 6 was also permitted to move on uncertified orders. Low grade lumber that may be sold on uncertified orders comprises No. 4 or lower grades of Douglas Fir, Southern Yellow Pine; Western lf emlock and Sitka Spruce; E grades of Douglas Fir and Western Hemlock; Redwood dunnage, and No. 3 or lower grades of Cypress.

Direction B as amended provides a new method for calculating the amounts of lumber a distributor may sell on uncertified orders. A distributor may place with his suppliers certified but unrated orders aggregating 20,000 board feet per year or for an amount up to l0/o of his retail yard sales of lumber in 1944. He may sell the lumber so received on uncertified orders. However, he may not deliver more than one-tenth of this annual quota in any month.

Formerly, distributors were permitted to buy from 5,000 to 8,000 board feet per quarter on certified but unrated orders for sale on uncertified orders. The new method of calculating the amount of lumber a distributor may sell on uncertified orders does not change the total amount available for such sales, WPB said. It provides a more equitable distribution among distributors.

Three directions (8,A' - 10 - 14) which are no longer applicable are revoked. Direction 12 (lumber for approved privately financed dwelling projects) is amended to remove certain temporary provisions.

Order L-335 in addition to major changes affecting the movement of uncertified lumber now incorporates the provisions of three directions which are revoked: Direction 13 (distributors' receipts of Red Cross lumber) ; Direction 15 (flitches) and Direction 16 (farmers' receipts of lumber produced from his own trees).

Applications by a sawmill for WPB authority to deliver lumber on uncertified orders is made by letter to the WPB field offices for the sawmill's district. However, sawmills located in the 12 states west of, and including lVlontana, South Dakota, Colorado and New Mexico, are required to mail their requests for authorization to the Western Administrator of L-335 in Portland, Oregon.

Class I consumers are now permitted to place advance orders for delivery in future quarters for amounts not to exceed 75/o of the current quarter's authorization, instead of. 50/o as formerly permitted. Class I consumers may accept delivery 15 days in advance of the quarter for which delivery was requested.

Effective dates: L-335, as amended, Directions 1 through 7, as amended, and revocation of Directions 13, 15 and 16 (provisions of which are incorporated in L-335)-January 7; Directions 8 and 12, as amended, and revocation of Directions 8-A, 10 and l,f-January 5, 1945.
