The government ordnance plant to be built on Neville Island will be fully 

 1600 feet long. Work on the foundations has already started and more 

 than i'GOO houses will be built on the south bills above the Island to take 

 care of the workmen. 



The Mitchell Lumber Company, whose slogan Is, "everything In lum- 

 ber," Is getting n line business from Industrial concerns In this city. It Is 

 making a specialty this summer of oak flooring and Is also doing a nice 

 business In other hardwoods for Industrial concerns. 



rians arc being matured at Ilarrisburg to establish a series of auxiliary 

 forest reserves In western I'ennsylvanla. There are several large tracts 

 wblch arc on Important watersheds and which the state proposes to plant 

 with trees. These arc located In Cambria, Clearfield, Clinton and other 

 Allegheny mountain counties. 



J. N. Woollett, president of the Aberdeen Lumber Company, believes 

 that the prices of gum and cottonwood arc going to keep up strong all the 

 year and may be expected to go higher when fall trade opens up. The 

 reason Is that production In the Southwest has been greatly curtailed by 

 the labor shortage and other causes, and that so many hardwood concerns 

 are now making government stocks that there must be large buyers of gum 

 and cottonwood. 



The Acorn Lumber Company, according to President H. F. DomhoCT, finds 

 Industrial demand first class. "It Is a question of getting the lumber rather 

 than getting the business or of getting good prices for It," he said. Rail- 

 road inquiry is also taking a considerable amount of lumber at this time. 



The Johnston-Davles Lumber Company Is making a spcclnity of oak this 

 year and Is handling a splendid lot of Butler county stock. Mr. Johnston 

 was down Kiist lately and believes that the market will be firm the rest

Embargoes at Norfolk, Potomac Yards and Hagerstown gateways were 

 raised on July 24 to lumber consigned to any New England point except 

 Boston. These cancellations, together with those via the Ohio crossings 

 a few weeks previous, leave practically the whole shipping facilities to this 

 territory unrestricted. 



The public service commissions of the six New England states have sent 

 a 9,000 word memorial to Director General McAdoo representing extremely 

 depressing effects of the application of the recent rate increases to this 

 section. The burden fixed upon industry here by the withdrawing of the 

 differentials and establishing the horizontal advances is set forth at length 

 that the government may be Informed of the hurtful results to both trade 

 and traSic If the tariffs are not amended.

Building operations here continue to be on a very restricted scale, the 

 sum added during the month to the year's total for new construction being 

 not more than $217,000, and there appears to be no prospect that material 

 additions will be made In the near future. This situation is not pleasing 

 to the federal authorities, who foresee increased difficulties in housing the 

 increase in the number of workers employed at the ship yards and other 

 industrial establishments in and about the city. An effort will be made 

 this week to devise means of encouraging the erection of new houses, a 

 conference of builders and federal officials In charge of the housing 

 problem having been called. But after all It Is a question of profit and 

 loss. At the prevailing prices of materials of all kinds, with labor scarcer 

 than ever, while all unessential work is being discouraged, private capital 

 sees little or no chance of coming out on the right side on real estate 

 improvements, and money for this purpose is therefore hardly obtainable. 

 It may he up to the federal authorities to provide the means. Meanwhile, 

 it is to be snid that apart from the government work done at cantonments, 

 at supply depots and other military establishments, with the outlay for 

 extensions to munition plants added, building here Is at a low ebb, amount- 

 ing to not more than $2,000,000 for the first seven months of the year. 

 At this rate, the total for the year will be perhaps only a fourth of 

 normal. That the city will make large expenditures on public works of 

 all kinds in the next decade is certain. The Maryland Court of Appeals 

 having last week upheld the constitutionality of the annexation act, which 

 added many square miles of territory, with several hundred thousand of 

 population, to the city, paving of streets, the erection of school buildings 

 and otbir structures, apart from an extension of public services Into 

 the annexiil section will become imperative. Large quantities of hard- 

 woods are certain to be used.
