S.B. 186-This was known as the Architects Act and would have prohibited anyone from drawing plans except an architect. The Bill was refused passag'e.
S.B. 1128, A.B. zLn---These were companion bills and set up Compulsory Health Insurance, with another payroll tax of 2 per cent. S.B. 1128 was tabled in Committee.
^.8.2127 was refused passage in the Assembly.
S.B. 542-This bill had to do with personal bonds and provi.ded that any personal bond, before becoming legal, had to be approved by court procedure. There were no exceptions in the bill whatever, and as the material interests were submitting a great many bid and proposal bonds for the furnishing of materials, if this procedure was in efiect, it would force them to secure a surety bond for each and every bid, which would be bothersome and costly to obtain. An amendment was secured making it an exception on bid and proposal bonds. This bill was passed by both houses and is now in the hands of the Governor. The report states that there were no bills passed that affected the industry in a detrimental way.

Chris Totten Boosts \(/ood Sach
Secretary Chris Totten of the Arizona Retail Lumber & Builders Supply Association in a recent bulletin to the Association members reproduced a copy of a letter he wrote to the Valley National tsank of Phoenix after listening to their radio program in which the use of steel sash was stressed, and a copy of their reply.
In his letter Mr. Totten said the radio prpgrams were of great value to the lumber industry, especially those in which the listener is advised to build and repair, but he wondered why it was necessary to sug'gest a particular type or species of material, referring to their suggestion to use steel sash. Steel sash are not made in Arizona, Mr. Totten stated, while on the other hand, wood sash are produced there, and the lumber industry in the state employs literally hundreds of men. He also mentioned the value and lasting qualities of wood sash.
Concluding his letter, he says, "We would be pleased if you find it necessary to merntion, or to suggest to the home owner that he make alterations, you would just say a 'new window' for your ads afe so effective and your institution is so influential that the psychological efiect of your suggestion of steel to a prospective customer is difficult for us to overcome."
In their reply to Mr. Totten, the bank stated they were sorry that this did not come to their attention before, and that hereafter no reference to steel sash will be made in their advertising. They agreed with everything said in Mr. Totten's letter and appreciated his calling the matter to their attention.
