THE ARIZONA lumber dealer is oper- r ating with a handicap under the present Arizona mechanic's lien law.

The committee is made up of Charles Mann, Arizona Sash, Door & Glass Co. as chairman; Harold Spotts, The O'Mall"y Companies; Morris Turken, Thrift Builders Supplies; Frank Hennesseyo The

Arizonq Associqfion Wins Aword

The Arizona Retail Lumber and Builders Supply Association has won a special Western Wood Products Association Award in recogaition of its sponsorship of the recently completed Heating and Air Condi. tioning Study conducted by Arizona State University.

The committee held its first meeting in October with the association attorney to review the present law and discuss proposed changes. The committee's decision was to propose two changes in the present law

(l) A notice of delivery clause and

(2) A penal clause.

The committee felt that these additions would be of great help over the present law to the material man and would give protection to the lending institution and homeowner.

The association, realizing it must have support from other groups, is presenting the proposed changes to the sub-contractors of the building industry and financial institutions.

I am asking, as executive vice-president of the association, all non-member dealers in Arizona to join our association menrbership, in order to get the full support of_all Arizona dealers in this very important le3islation.
