It is regrettable, however, that this giant step forward is achieved at the cost of a net reduction in the amount of lumber that consumers will receive under nominal sizes, he said. The FTC chairman said the new smaller sizes proposed in the revised standards would amount to a 10 per cent reduction in quantity In the case of dry lumber. For that reason, he said, each piece of lumber should be marked to show Its actual size. It would be deceptive to reduce the size without adequately disclosing that tact, Dixon said. Dixon was critical Although of proposals to grade lumber on the basis of an average of the average strength values of several species, he said the question of whether it had a must capacity to deceive await the publication of grading rule provisions. stiffness on the basis of the lowest grade included.
