HARDWOOD FRNS Interior Trim Specifications Expected to Be Ready in H Next Few Weeks. The Hardwood Interior Trim facturers’ Ass tion, an organization of produce: hardwood in the fin- ished yard lumber items, adopted several weeks ago specifications cover- ing an A zrade of ardwood mold ing and trim. The pecifications 6 more or less sel they not only include rules for the ng and manufacture of the stock, but also provisions covering ¢ measurement, tally, inspection and { complaints. It is expected that these rules will be available in the printed form within a few weeks, It is reported that the association has adopted a definite policy of stand ardization of the products of its mem- “ bers both in manufacturing and merchandising, consistent with the supply of and most ec X RADING RULES nomical use, the latest manufacturing practices with modern equipment, the eds of the buyer and the requirements of use. Rules for Grading. The rules for the grading of the finished product are specific and ar- ranged in logical form for easy refer- ence as to the defects permitted in the grade. In com American standard fications, poorest pleces admissible in this grade is about equivalent to that of the soft- wood standard gra 3 and better casing, base, moldings, The average quality of 2 hardwood trim, however, may awverage some- what higher than B and better soft- woods. This is due to the fact that certain small defects are admissible only in a small percentage of the pleces, but, in turn, because no limita- tion is placed on the agzregate num- ber of defects that may be allowed in any one plece, this feature makes the range in quality of stock in the grade somewhat greater. Feature of Specifications. A feature of these specifications is that they provide for designs and sizes in accordance with the Amer- jcan standard 7,000 series of molding. Inasmuch as these designs and pat- terns are, In a large measure, the result of exhaustive work by archi- tects, contractors, millwork manufac- turers, etc., they should find.a quick and ready demand among that class of consumers, as well as permit of the interchangeability with softwood moldings, also.available from a ma- Jority of the softwood manufacturers upon the basis of the American stand- ards. In moldings of specified lengths, 4 feet 7 inches and longer, the specifi- catlons provide that the tally shall be counted up as much as 1% linear feet. The provisions as to complaint and inspection agree, with one exception, to the corresponding provisions of the American standards. The exception is that In case of a difference in grade wpon reinspection of 5 per cent or more the buyer is entitled to reject only tbat portion of the below grade that is in excess of § per cent of the shipment. By the American stand- ards. the buyer would be entitled in such an instance to reject all that is found upon reinspection to be below grade. Stoftwood manufacturers who have spent so much time and money formu- lating American standards for soft- wood yard items, and more recently have exerted every effort to get these standards in manufacturing and merchandising practice, have the co- operation of the hardwood dealers. BUILDING TO HAVE TELEGRAPH SERVICE The National Press Building, under construction at. Fourteenth and F streets, will have the best telephone and telegraph service that can be in- stalled in an office structure. will be modern telegraph facilities with private wires to each office room if desired, also intercommunicating private telephone °“wires to every office. These facilities will make the building especially suited to the news. paper correspondents who form the great part of the tenants, Studies are belng made to determine the feasibility of having radio con- nection for each office. Up to the present time no office building in the There | $ REAL ESTATE CLASSES TO OPEN IN NOVEMBER Y. M. C. A, Course Under Auspices of Washington Board Will Run Monday Evenings.

CONTRACTORS FIND 192 HOLDING OWN Number of Building Permits Cnly Fraction Under Ban- ner Year of 1925. Recent developments in the con- struction industry virtually assure tulfiliment of forecasts that the {amount of bullding operations to be handled this year will be as great or greater than the record-breaking vol- ume established in 1925. The total volume of contracts awarded during the first five months of 1926 exceeded.by 14 per cent the figure for the corresponding period of 1923, according to- statistics compiled the Associated General ~Con- | tructors of America. The total num- ber of building peymits issued during the first five months of this year is only slightly below the mark set in the seme months of 1925. | White the volume of contracts {awarded and the number of permits issued during May both were some- what lower than the levels reached in April, the actual amount of construc. {tion under way in June set a new record for that month. This June figsure was only slightly below the highest mark en record for any month and promises to be exceeded in July. D. C.
