Club No.109 Will Hold Concat

Le Roy Miller, president of Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club No. 109, presided at the regular dinner meeting of the Club, held at Wilson's Confectaurant, Sacramento, on Wednesday evening, February 17.

Mr. Miller announied that the Club will hold a Hoo-Hoo Concatenation in April.

Chas. O. Burick, Jr., member of the State Planning Commission, addressed the gathering on the subject "State Planning After the War."

This authorization makes it possible for both the operators and WPB to avoid handling numerous applications for construction jobs which are necessary in larger buildings. Before the or.iginal procedure was instituted last September, operators had to receive individual authotization when the cost for all such work reached the limits set in the stop-construction order, L-41'

Under the new plan all miscellaneous construction jobs, except those estimated to cost $10,000 or more may be included in a single application for blanket authorization. The previous limit was $5,000. A separate PD-200 application must be submitted for each structure or project estimated to cost $10,000 or more for which authority to begin construction is required. The revised procedure also provides for the filing of all applications covering miscellaneous construction jobs, not requiring priority assistance with the War Production Board, Construction Division, Empire State Building, New York City. Applications covering miscellaneous industrial construction jobs requiring priority assistance must be filed with the War Production Board, Washington, D. C.

Applications covering miscellaneous jobs must describe all proposed construction work within the stated period of time in terms of specific jobs, dollar value of each job, as well as quantities of materials to be used.

Where it is impossible for the applicant to forecast the proposed jobs accurately, an application of a more general nature will be accepted. However, the estimated total cost of the proposed construction and a preliminary materials list must be included.

Items on which priorities assistance will be required must be indicated regardless of whether or not they are required to be included in the estimated cost. Where possible, schedule of deliveries of specific quantities of materials must be shown. Commitments for purchase of materials
