 L'. Mr. NIcbolson explained tbe rate Hituatlon, and nald tbat be doubted 

 wbetber tbc application of the Dean scbedulc to I/Oiiliivllle yarda would 

 result In a reduction of ratea. He admitted tbat rates on lumber yarda 

 eunneeted with sawmills or other plants wblch are equipped with sprinkler 

 systems are lower than Is Justllled, but Indicated that this was tbe result 

 of competitive conditions. A comparisun of rates under different schedules 

 will be made by Mr. Nicholson In Ibe near future, after wblch he will 

 make a report to the club. Tbe cenernl lire Insurance situation In Ken- 

 tucky remains coinpllealed, with the furelKn companies still out and the

 Insurers, however, have found tbat they can get Insurance outside the

 lunil)ernmn who can keep half a dozen dllTerent operations, located In 

 different cities, going at top efficiency all the time. 



The Sblpp-slreet yard of the W. 1*. Brown & Sons Lumber Company 

 Is regarded as one of the best located In the city. It is located on both 

 Ihe Louisville & Nashville and Southern Kallway. and competitive con- 

 ditions of this kind arc almost necessary in Ixiuisville on account of the 

 ireneral policy of the Louisville & Nashville toward shippers. The yard 

 abuts on the new Eastern I'arkway. wlilch connects two of the leading 

 Iiarks of the city, and tbe company had to give up a piece of the yard 

 .It the nortliern end to enable the parkway to be completed.

 autliorltirs relative to the establishment of the reserve by the Government

Tbe vi'blcle and Implement trade is the most active consuming line at 

 prisenl, liardwood men report. Excellent crop conditions have resulted 

 in the farmers buying heavily, and the factories supplying them arc in tbc 

 niarKet for an unusually larce amount of material.
