los Angeles Building Boord Approves Use of 'Utiliry' ond No. 4 Lumber With Provisions

(Continued from Page 2) lumber graded under W.C.L.B. Rules No. 15 and, where the lumber grades are referred to by number, it means lumber graded under the 1956 W.P.A. Standard Grading Rules, Orrie W. Hamilton reported to members of the Southern California Retail Lumber Assn. in a recent association bulletin.

With this explanation, we might add that while some of our members may feel that the Building Code amendments do not conform in all respects to the changes sought, the City of Los

Angeles has taken a long step in the right direction, which has been a long time in coming, to protect the public by requiring the use of 100/o grade-stamped lumber on all jobs within the city, Mr. Hamilton's bulletin continued.

What the City of Los Angeles has done will no doubt be promptly followed by action of the other cities in Southern California. It therefore behooves each one of us to refrain from seeking exceptions that rn'oulcl have the effect of delaying the effective date or nullifying the change unless, of course, it is found that additional time is needed to use the lumber that ha<l been delivered to the job before the effective date of the new Building Code, the SCRLA executive said.

Our Lumber Grades committee has worked unceasingly to accomplish the purposes set forth in Amendments of the new 1957 Los Angeles Building Code. We are indebtecl to them, and especially to Rex Clark, for a job well done, Mr. Harnilton's bulletin concluded.
