ECONOMIC CRISIS
FOR B.C. LUMBER
VANCOUVER, B. C., UP) — The
British Columbia lumber indus
try is facing an economic crisis
so severe that sawmills can buy
timber cheaper than it cost the
logging companies to cut it.
The situation has been blamed
primarily on the West Coast’s
damp, fire - free summer, which
tripled production, coupled with
high taxes 'and glutted markets.
‘It is a simple, economic fact,”
said D. M. MacKenzie, president
of the Truck Loggers Assn., “that
tariff restrictions and currency
exchange difficulties have caused
a surplus of logs and timber. The
result is a sharp decline in prices.”
