ROSEDUr.G NEWS-REVIEW. ROSECURG. OREGON. MONDAY. 1 AGAINST Public to Be Given Data on Manner in Which the Builders Fulfill Their Contracts. WASHINGTON, U. C, Aug. 2U. Ah a decisive move In a program launched to safeguard J he public frititi the ni ts of Irresponsible con tractors, the bureau of contract Information has just been Incor porated under the laws of Dela ware. Data on (lie manner In which each general contractor in the Unit ed States hutt fultilled past con tract obligation Ih to be gathered and utilized in ail effort to elimi nato conditions that have made toiv irresponsibility In the construction industry. This whh Just announced by the Associated General Cun traclorH o( America and comes as the culmination of several years ot debate about practices involved in the writing of surety bonds. The undertaking is a venture in cooperation between surety com panies and organized contractors although It Is independently or ganized as a fact gathering and in vestigating agency. Through this bureau the actual work of gathering and compiling the business histories of some 26, UDO firms Hated us construction companies Is being started under the direction of S. M. Williams who is the manager of the engineering construction division of the con tractor a' association. With the uc live backing of the organized con tractors Williams represents, 11 is anticipated that this effort to make available the facts regarding the responsibility ot every collimator will be curried to a successful con clusion. i he highway departments of 1(J states have gone on record as fa voring the objects of the bureau and have pledged assistance to the extent of contributing their own data on the performance records ol those contractors who have work ed under contract with them. Individual surety companies In terested in the bureau have like wise agreed to pool their records. (jtieslfonnalres me rapidly being forwnrded to contractors in order to obtain data direct from them as to their past performance and qualifications. Lost v delays that ensue w 'hen a contractor defaults on his contract, forcing his surety lo take Over and complete the work, have long been recognized us a source of loss and annoyance to the public which Is deprived of the use of the Improve ment and suiters from the incon veniences attendant while con- .miction operations life unduly ex-; tended. i Uie losses lo surety companies, I material nud supply Interests and the construction Industry generally! are conceived to he equally great. lly having n record of the past per-, lormaiicc of contractors available through nil unbiased tact finding agency It is conceived that silrely companies will be able to more In telligently Judge ol the ability of a contractor to carry through the contract ou which they are called upon to write bonds guaranteeing performance. State nud municipal officials will likewise he bolter able to judge of qualifications when making awards. T h e contractors" association through lis general manager, It. A. Curlier, has Issued n call to every responsible contractor in the coun try to support this bureau by sub mitting information promptly when It is required. In arguments timing past years, charges of carelessness made agaiiMt surety companies by con i melon have been countered by citations Indicating that eoiitrnc- ! tors have failed to gie accurate Information about their businesses. ; The extensive anil sometimes nerl i uionioim debate on these points ap ' pears to have prepared the way for active cooperation am) both groups are pinning their hopes on the sue , cess ol the It urea u of Contract 1 11 s formation.

HOMEATOIX0WV1LE STRENGTH NORTH AMERICAN WOODS SHOWN IN TABLES Handy reference tables showing the strength of 129 different spe cies of woods growing in the Unit ed States have Just been issued by the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture. The term "Btrength" as applied to wood may have a variety of meanings, depending on the use to which the wood is to be put, says the Forest Service. In these tables, the mechanical properties include strength in bending, strength In compression parallel to grain and perpendicular to grain, stiffness, hardness, Bhock resisting ability, and shearing strength parallel to grain. The weight per cubic foot, specific gravity (oven dry), and shrinkage from green to oven dry condition also are given. All the commercially important hardwoods and conifers are included. The tables, complied by H. S. Betts, senior engineer, are based on approximately 130,010 tests con ducted by the Forest Products Laboratory of the Forest' Service. Madison, Wisconsin, over a period of some 15 years. They can be used to compare the properties of the different woods, to select woods for particular uses, and to establish approximate working stresses. Watklhs products, uane.
