PRICE OF TIMBER
REDUCTION BY MAIN TRUNK MILLERS. FEB PRESS ASSOCIATION. TAIHAPE, March 24. At a meeting of Main Trunk sawmillers at Ohakune on Thursday, a lead was taken for getting hack to normal in reducing the price of building timber. While increasing royalties and reduced output warrant an increase, with a view to cheapening the cost of workers’ homes the on-truck price at Ohakune of building heart, rough heart, ordinary building, scantlings, secondclass scantling, and sahking, have been reduced two shillings per 100 ft. Waikato price lists have been adjusted to Main Trunk prices, all of which take effect to-day. Farmers’ fencing battens also have been reduced by five shillings.
