Lumber Deliveries -- Revised Application Form \fPB 2720

Authorization to make and accept deliveries of restricted Western lumber, required under the provisions of Limitation Order L-D0, is simplified and speeded up by the revised application Form WPB 27N (formerly PD-872) just issued by WPB's Lumber and Lumber Products Division.

The prospective purchaser is instructed in the new form to make application for delivery authorization only after he has obtained assurance from his producer that the approved purchase order can be filled.

Distribution controls established by L-N, Division officials pointed out, do not provide complete allocation of each shipment but channel supplies to the most essential needs. In carrying out this objective, applications have hitherto been denied when the ability of the producer to make shipments was not known.

The revised form also asks for the preference rating, if any, which has been authorized for the lumber requested. In the past some applicants have given the preference rating which they wished to have assigned rather than the one already assigned.

Form WPB 2720 may be filed by either the prospective receiver of the shipment or the producer. Both will be notified of action taken by WPB and authorizations will specify the time within which deliveries are to be made. In this way the producer who has earmarked a shipment for a particular purchaser will know when to ship it if the
