The lumber trade is not yet satisfied that the last word has been said 

 in connection with the sales tax on lumber, provided for in the finance 

 minister's budget. The amendment introduced by Sir Henry Drayton 

 reduced the sales tax from three to two per cent, payable by the manu- 

 facturer. At least one and a half per cent must be charged on the invoice, 

 according to a government ruling. The whtdesaler is not require)! U> take 

 out a license and there is no further tax after the manufacturers* sale. 

 This is a very material concession to the lumber trade, compared with the 

 original [)roposals. However, the wholesale interests are not satisfied with 

 the three-quarters of the tax being passed im to them by the manufacturers. 

 It is recognized that the consumer buys the tax eventually, at least un<ler 

 ntirmal market con il it ions. However, representative whob-salers object 

 that it is most unfair to permit manufacturers to collect the tax from 

 them, because they are operating on a small margin and are taking heavy 

 losses on stock that depreciated in value during the last few months. 



The L. G. Delamater Lumber Company, Limited, has been granted a 

 Iiominion charter with power to carry on business as timber and lumber 

 merchants, sawmill owners and operators and to deal in lumber of all 

 grades. The head office of the company is at Kdmonton, Alberta, and the 

 capital stock is $24,000. 



To manufacture, sell anil tb'al in all liranclies of lumber au<l woodwork- 

 ing products the Brockville Lumber Corporation, Ltd.. has been formed and 

 granted a Dominion charter with head office at Brockville, Ont. The pro- 

 visional directors are F. B. Van Dusen, H. F. Van Diisen and (J. Joy and 

 the capital stock is $75,000. 



A plan has been worked out by the Canadian .Mr Board wbereliy the 

 Air Board will loan the necessary aircraft for forestry patro! by any luiii 

 bering firms that desire to carry on experiments during the summer 

 months. One pulp and paper company operating on the Lake-of-the-Wnuds 

 area has already made apiilicatitm for a lighter-than-air machine and one 

 will be shipped immediately. The Air Board has eight machines whicli 

 they propose to devote to the lumber industry. They have a gas-carrying 

 capacity sufficient to propel them for Iti hours, so that the ditticuity of 

 finding landing places in a forest area is greatly overcome. 



The announcement of the likelihood of the United States Congress 

 including in its permanent tariff bill a duty of twenty-five per cent on 

 Canadian lumber caused keen interest in Canadian lumber circles. The 

 general opinion in the trade appeare<l t<) be tliat Canadian lumber interests 

 might find a temporary dislocation of their export market. One leading 

 Toronto lundierman pointi'd out that from a natitmal point of view. 

 Canada need not resent the addition of this trade barrier, because luml'cr 

 is a commodity the Unitet! States must have and has not got. in suffieiml 

 quantities, at home. As in the case of pulpwood, Canada is an indispensa-
