NEW ZEALAND TIMBER
UNIFORM GRADING AND GLASSIFICATION [Feb United Pbbss Assocunos.l CHRISTCHURCH, February 25. An, outline of the proposals of the Government for the ensuring of inci eased use of New Zealand timbers was.given by the Premier this morning. He said that the Government had not been content merely to give increased protection, but had set up a committee of experts. The committee had been at work for ten months, and although its inquiries were not yet completed in two important phases of its duties, the end was in sight—namely, in establishing uniform grading and classification of all New Zealand timbers in common use, and in defining the maximum defects and blemishes occurring in timber. Classification was extremely simple, and if adopted by the industry ho could see no reason wny the Govern ment should not be independent of imported supplies. He looked for the cooperation of local bodies, architects, and builders. The committee proposed to call conferences of the interested' parties to place the results of its workbefore them.
