90 AREA OF LAND AND COFFEE WEIGHTS. 
measurement is the rule, but when a large number 
of them are required, the better plan is to arrange 
for them by the 100. Sawyers prefer the cutting of 
reepers to anything else, and will take them at a 
lower rate per 100 than breadth measurement, when 
not mixed up with heavy scantling, such as ‘beams, 
pillars, and joists, which use up a number of trees 
for very little sawing. The rate at which sawyers are 
paid here is 12/ per 100 feet, except for the entting 
of Nie when 15/ has to be paid.
