Mr Spiers objected to the length of the boards, and Mr Boyd, 

 Pollok, said he thought it was not necessary to have the bark on 

 both edges of the boards. 



Mr D. F. Mackenzie defended the Schedule, and said he 

 thought there should be no difficulty in Members complying with 

 the regulations. He pointed out that it was the quality of the 

 timber that was aimed at. 



Mr Tait, Penicuik, said that Members should be allowed to 

 get their wood cut up at any large mills in the neighbourhood. 



Mr BucHANAX, Penicuik, moved that the Schedule be remitted 

 back to the Council, and this was agreed to.

It was remitted to the Council to carry out the arrangements 

 proposed in their Report.
