IMPORTED TIMBER.
USE FOR SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
The amount of imported timber used by the Canterbury Education board in its schools was stated by Mr. J. A. Taylor to be " scandalous," at the last meeting of the Canterbury School Committees' Association. He stated that he knew what he was talking about, for he had worked for the board. Where every other builder would use' New Zealand red pine for the work, the board used imported timber, especially for doorframes, doors, joists and fillets. On. his motion it was decided that a protest be made to the board against the excessive use in schools of imported timber where New Zealand timber could be used.
