tries Board to enforce this who'll
plan rests upon the fact that j
controls priorities and has ais
secured from the manufacturer
of building materials a pledg'
nGt to supply materials for pro
jects. which are not authorized
under the regulations Of the Wa
Industries Board.
To carry on the work outlined
above, we recommend that yor
create small committee on Pro
posed Construction. We urge
selection of men Of broad expert
ence, who are known to be. disin.
terested and who are so located
that they cam assemble frequently
! If an existing committee can dc
this work, it can be- assigned to
them. The duties Of this com.
mittee will be:
/. To create and direct the
sub-organization throughout your
State. As the need Of action is
immediate, we believe I'M cases
where practicable your County
Councils or like organization
should be utilized.
2. To see that the plan Of the
War Industries Board for the cur
tailment of construction is under
stood throughout the State and to
create a public state Of mind
which will automatically discour-
age building.
3. To maintain regulate com
munication with the War Indus
tries Board on the one hand and
with local representatives on the
other hand, in order that the pol
icies of the War Industries Board
regarding construction may be
uniformly applied locally.
4. To pass upon actual cases
Of proposed construction.
The War Industries Board will
shortly send you further informa.
ton regarding procedure and will
thereafter maintain direct COM
munication with you. The Board
will also supply you with appli-
cation and report blanks in guam
tity. We ask you, however, to
set up your organization at once
and notify us Of your action.
Ut is hardly too much to say
that the success Of the entire
priorities system Of the Govern
ment will under this plan depend
upon you. We trust you will
give it your unremitting attention
and at the same time impress
upon your entire organization the
fact that this task will be one Of
their most important functions.
