Beali. In 1he current Dow Service Dally Bull. line Reports. The startling thine about this change In method of handling lum ber at retail In New York la the need for It. Congestion of street traffic, advancing cost of materi als and construction, higher price of labor, acant quantity and short quality tactics that have crept Into some parts of the building biul- ness, and last, but by no means least, the growing traffic in stolen building materials, all have a part In creating the demand for more progressive ways. There was a time when the city authorities would permit a truck to drive up to a building site, grind oft a load of lumber and drive on serenely unmindful as to how the! boards scattered over the pave- j tnent. Nowadaya the truck has to . stand there until last board is unloaded, board by board. If the lumber was wanted some where up la the building each in dividual board was passed from ' man to man, perched floor above floor, until It found Its destination at the hand qf the concrete form builder, the underflooring man or whoever the sub-contractor was who had ordered it. Labor costs too much 'today to make this kind of lumber-kandliug pay. Too much time is lost wag ing for the load to arrive in the building where it Is wanted. Too much time Is lost In loading the truck at the yard, too, when It is piled on board by board. There also was a time when con tractors knew by accepted trade term and number exactly the qual ity of material his order would bring to his building operation. He Colonial Solder.

The street is quickly cleared for traffic, the load Is placed In four convenient units exactly where It is wanted in the building and In the exact amount ordered and billed for. This Innovation In the handling of lumber is in close conformity with efforts that are being made In other departments of the build ing Industry for the purpose of cut ting costs and to checkmate build ing material thievery, the extent of which was brought out at the mass meeting of the building trades held last December and out of which evolved the Committee of Tweutv scven. The reform in this department Is In line with that which has occurred In other departments, all looking toward the establishment of the building construction business of the City of Xew Vor on a higher ethical basis, only this has the dls unction of being the first directly building to time, but Friday's Rhlpment of mail plane arrived in New York ! with the International Ncwsreol I photographs and motion pictures of Koald Amundsen's landing in Alas ka, which were dispatched from Nome exactly ten days before.
