Harbor Board Would Raise Lumber Rate

That the rate on stored lumber unloaded from vessels at the San Diego city piers should be raised from 10 to 15 cents per 100O feet on certain kinds of material, was the recommendation to the city council by the harbor commission.

This, it is claimed, will place the city on the same basis as Los Angeles harbor and also of other piers in San Diego.

Convention Plans

Plans are rapidly progressing for the Annual Convention of the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association, to be held at Atlantic City, N. J., Ambassador Hotel, April 15-16. The Convention Committee met at Pittsburgh last week, went over plans in detail, and arrangements were made for discussions developing around the Convention keynote, "Lumber Merchandising." Subjects of practical everyday interest to the industry will be considered and in order to permit plenty of time for discussion formal reports will be only briefly referred to and printed for distribution at the Convention.

Progress And Prospects Of Reforestation In The South

Examination of the timber stands in the south, both of commercial size and young growth, together with consideration of the progress already made in reforestation and the greatly augmented interest in and attention to this movement on the part of lumbermen, farmers and the general public, lead one to the confident prediction that there always will be a supply of Southern pine sufficient to meet the demand of American consumers for this wood and that lumber always will be an important industry of the South.
