Therefore, the new issue will fur- nish $13,000 for this use, the re- maining $87,000 being absorbed in retiring the old eight percent bonds and notes. | Cut Climbs High | The company’s cut, which reached its peak in 1927, or the first year| after the new mill was constructed, is almost back again to that stage.| Tn 1927, the total cut was 10,434,000 board feet. It began to decline the| following year and fell to 3,444,000 in' 1932. It has shown a steady growth| sinse then and during the season just ended, it totaled roughly 9.-| 000,000 feet.
