J. N. Woollett, President of the -\berdeeu Lumber Company, has gone to

 sale that will likely be adopted by the association in the near future.

BALTIMORE 



There is reported to be a prospect that this city will get an airplane 

 construction plant. M. Raymond Saulnier of Paris having been here last 

 Tuesday to arrange for the building of the Morane-Saulnier machine. 

 M. Saulnier was an engineer in aeronautics before the European war, hav- 

 ing designed and supervised the construction of the Bleriot No. 2, which 

 was the first plane to fly across the English channel. It is expected that 

 when the plant he intends to put up gets into full operation it will turn 

 "Ut 150 planes a year. 



There are before the city council a new building code and an ordinance 

 1(» create a zoning system for the city. 



The approval of various loans for municipal improvements at the elec- 



tion on last Tuesday opens up a large program of construction, which will 

 call for great quantities of lumber. For the improvement of harbor facil- 

 ities alone millions are to be set aside, and the erection of new schools, 

 along with other betterments, will require other big sums, in the expendi- 

 ture of which the lumbermen here will have a wide interest because of the 

 supplies of lumber that will be needed. 



That the Columbia Graphaphone Company, which is just completing the 

 first unit of its big plant at OrangevlUe, in the northeastern suburbs, will 

 eventually become the biggest user of hardwoods in this section. Is indi- 

 cated by the plans which the corporation entertains. The first unit, a 

 cabinet factory, which is expected to begin operations in about ten days, 

 i.s housed in a concrete and steel building 220 feet wide by 3S2 feet long 

 and having six stories, with a fioor area of more than 500,000 square feet. 

 Connected with the plant is a battery of 23 dry kilns occupying a space . 

 75 by 500 feet, and there are other structures, all of which will be run 

 by electricity. There will be 6,000 horse power in motors and some 6,000 

 people will be employed. The plant represents an expenditure of $2,500.- 

 000. Later on additional units will rise, with one or two more cabinet 

 factories and corresponding accessions to the dry kiln capacity and other 

 equipment. The purpose, in fact, as reported here, is to transfer the 

 Bridgeport plant to Baltimore, so that ultimately the company would have 

 working here not less than about 35,000 people. The company has already 

 laid in large stocks of cabinet and other woods, but has stopped further 

 buying for the present. These preliminary purchases have been made 

 from Bridgeport. 



The interests identified with the wholesale hardwood firm of Richard 

 P. Baer & Co., the tower of the Maryland Casualty Building, have organ- 

 ized the Magazine Lumber Company, with a capital stock of $500,000, to 

 take over the timber holdings from which the saw mill operated by the 

 Magazine Saw Mill Company at Mobile gets its stumpage. The incorpora- 

 tion is merely a readjustment of affairs, so as to facilitate activities and 

 simplify accounting. The incorporator.* named in the papers are Knos 

 S. Stockbridge. E. McClure Rouzer and William Lentz, lawyers, all of the 

 Maryland Casualty tower. The oflicers of the new company will be the 

 same as those of other Baer corporations. The mill at Mobile has been 

 shut down pending repairs and a readju.stment in production costs, and 

 the plant at Willets, N. C.', is also idle. 



Thomas Matthews & Son, Inc., are erecting at their yard at Cedar street 

 and the Western Maryland railroad, in Westport, a southeastern subu'-b, a 

 two-story frame planing mill, 60 by 70 feet in size, in order that they may 

 be in position to supply the customers of the corporation with such dressed
