jT n OrOCr that there may be no confusion of ideas as to the attitude of the 

 '"^ kimbermen towards the use of building materials, the National Lumber 

 Manufacturers Association last year went on record through the following state- 

 ment unanimously adopted by its Board of Governors: 



"The National Lumber Manufacturers Association has no desire to insist upon the use of 

 wood for such purposes and in such places as it is not the best available material or cannot with 

 proper selection and treatment be made equal to competing materials for the service required. 



"The National Lumber Manufacturers Association does most firmly believe, however, that 

 official building regulations, as covering the factor of fire hazard, and as applied to details of 

 construction for any piuT)ose referring to the fire hazard, should be strictly in accordance with 

 the accumulated experience of scientific underwriting, and should properly permit a free choice 

 by the investor among all kinds of available materials, and that the best interests of municipal 

 development and expansion, and especially of the modest home builder, require that the individual 

 may build according to his own judgment as determined by his purchasing power, or by any 

 special conditions, and that such freedom of preference and judgment should be construed as 

 legal in cities, suburbs, or country. Only by such liberty of choice may the citizen, by his wise 

 and thoughtful selection, contribute to the welfare of his fellows within his possibilities, and 

 it is the desire of this Association to aid him to most intelligently and economically do so."

 and through their organizations they are prepared to give advice and assistance 

 to all classes of consumers.
