Construction Order Amended

San Francisco, December S-Certain types of farm and railroad construction were eased today by amendments to conservation order L-41, it was revealed by the Regional War Production Board today.

The major amendments include the following changes:

Construction of railroad tracks is exempted from the provision of order L-41. Buildings, tunnels, overpasses, underpasses or bridges, however, are still covered. Applications for laying trackage already are handled by the transportation equipment division and today's change was made to eliminate unnecessary paper work required by the additional authorization of the administrator of L-41.

Agricultural construction incident to the erection or installation of machinery or equipment, which is now controlled by limitation order L-170, is exempted, in order to remove a second unnecessary control on farmers by order L4t.

Construction of facilities by the communications industry is exempted from the provisions of L-41.

Adequate control of such.construction is maintained by blanket preference rating orders P-130 and P-132. Consequently, it is not necessary for the Bureau of Construction, which administers L-41 further to control construction or extension of communication facilities, except buildings.

The order was also amended to make clear the fact telegraph and teletypewriter services conducted by telephone operators are to be treated in the same manner as telephone. service as exempt from the order.
