t17APPAT ELECTBIG To L. A. Building Ordinance

A hearing was held before the Building and Safety Committee of the Los Angeles City Council at the City Hall, Thursday afternoon, April 19, on the resolution introduced in the City Council on March 15, 1934, by Councilman Geo. W. C. Baker, asking for an amendment to exempt the foundation grade technically known as No. 1 Heart Common Redwood from the building ordinance rvhich requires that all lumber used as the underpinnings of buildings be pressure-treated rvith creosote or its equivalent as a protection against termites.

Councilman Baker opened the hearing by stating that the Redwood industry is one of the oldest industries in the state, represents an investment of $250,0@,000, employs 11,000 men r,vith an annttal payroll of approximately $15,000.000, pays between $2,0@,0@ and $3,000,@O a year in taxes, and that the industry is handicapped by the ordinance.

R. R. Leishman, California Redwood Association, talked in support of the amendment. He discussed the grading rule specifications of the foundation grade No. 1 Heart Common Redwood which he said is free from sapwood and each piece of lumber would carry the Association's grade and trade mark as a guarantee of its quality. Emanuel Fritz, Associate Professor of Forestry, University of California at Berkeley, gave the committee much technical information regarding Redu'ood. Prof. Fritz was asked many questions by both the members of the Committee and others about Redwood as to its durability and resistance to decay.
