LUMBER CUT IN 1917
OVER 35 BILLION FEET
Falling Of During Past Year At
tributed Largely to Decreased
Private Building.

A total of 1881 .23o 900 feet of Ium-
Der was cut for the United States In
1917. according to announcement of
the forest service. This figure Is
based on reports received up to May
Is from 16.4os sawmills out OF the
24.s15 believed to have operated last
year. 1t Is estimated that the actual
cut last year. on the basis OF COM
piled figures. was approximately 10
per cent less than the production in
1915
The falling or in lumber produc-
tion during the past year is attrib-
uted principally to largely decreased
private building operations. the
scarcity OF labor in connection with
small operations, transportation diff
ficultiea. curtailment OF demand on
the part of wood-using industries and
n more or less general dislocation OF
lumber distribution through ordinary
channels of trade.
A considerable portion OF the total
quantity produced was utilized In
meeting the exceptional demands for
government construction and other
war emergency projects. including
ship material.
The state of Washington was again
the largest producer. with a lumber r
cut of 1870. 100000 feet; Louisiana
was second. with 4.2lU.oo0.non feet,
and Oregon third. with 2.5s5. .0oo.nuU
feet. crowding into the fourth posi-
tion Mississippi, with a cut OF q

In 1898 Ebenezer Howard, an un-

In 1898 Ebenezer Howard. an un-
known Englshman, issued a PAM
phlet called Garden Cities of Tomor-
row." 1t proposed a limited-profit
company to buy a great tract of va
cant land, plan a city in the middle
thereof, attract industries and people
and control the city's development
and housing so as to make it clean.
bright, model town. The argument
was so embellished with idle fancies
as to be ideally calculated to excite
the laughter Of practical men. He
drew his street plan. for instance. a
perfect wheel with a park at the hub.
glass arcade of stores around it,
belt Of park halfway out in which
schools and churches were to be To-
Gated and a ring Of factories labeled
"jam," boots" cycles" etc. on the
rim, the whole being encircled by
a railroad siding with vegetable gar
6ens beyond.
Naive as the pamphlet was, yet IT
had a kernel of truth that caught
mems fancy. The land was to be
bought at rural values When popu-
lation came these values would rise
to city prices, roughly in proportion
to the increase in population. The In
crement would more than cover the
expenses of putting in streets, sewers,
water etc. and the surplus would go
back into the new community in the
form of extra revenues. Industries
were leaving the dirty slums of Lon.
don anyway and going to small
places; why should they not be will
ing to go TO Garden City?
First Town Is Built.
The idea took hold. his company.
First Garden City Ltd" was formed
and actually sold its stock for the
purchase and Improvement OF four
thousand five-hundred-acre tract that
was obtained at Letchworth in 1903.
Industries Of various kinds accepted
land at nominal rates built spacious
and light factories and brought out
their workmen for whom cottages
were readily provided. No new slums
were allowed, no overcroWding or
land or houses. and the company's
power was everywhere carefully used
to direct the growth of the town to-
ward beauty health and convenience
Letchworth stands today in many re-
spects the loveliest town in England,
despite It's newness, with death rate
Of as against Liverpool's 20.3. Its
population is now over $4,000. 1t has
room for $4,000, and if that number
is reached the growth will be delib-
erately halted and new town started
somewhere beyond protective belt
of park land.
The First Garden City, Ltd" still
owns all Letchworth land. The houses

with 5.5s5 900 900 feet. white oak
and white pine are each credited with
22Jo. .OO0. 900 feet.
The number OF mills in operation
reporting in 1917 was smaller than
for the two preceding years.
a comparison of the computed cut
for 1917 with the total cut of the
previous year IN the larger producing
regions shows q decrease OF about
10 per cent in the southern yellow
pine group of states. n decrease OF
~ per cent in the North Carolina
pine group and a decrease OF II per
cent in tho lake states. on the o,hnr

ductlon OF 3 per cent In Oregon and

the term being usually ninety-nine
years and the rates being based on
Iforeknowledge of the future character
Of each neighborhood as controlled
by the city plan. Within four years
after its foundation there was book
profit" as shown by outside appraisal
Of sS50,0OO. Letchworth is enjoying
low rents and high revenues.
The company as landlord differs
radically from the crowd of private
landowners which own any ordinary
city. Private landowners charge all
they can and pocket the net proceeds!
But the company that owns Letch-
worth has self-imposed limitation of
10 per cent annual return on its actual
investment and the surplus must be
re-expended upon the property for the
benefit of the people. The company
was eager to attract population. but
it wanted people to come and build.
not congested new slums. but attac-
tive. well spaced homes that would
enhance the value of the remaining
vacant land. Terms were accordingly
offered that left margin in the
workers budget sufficient to pay for
a decent house.
Workers Get a Chance.
st It came about that the workers
who left city slums for the green
charms and sunshine Of IatchWorth.
found that their wages would secure
for them attractive homes on land
that was still reasonable despite its
desirability. The miracle had been
achieved Of establishing a spot where
good money could be earned and city
conveniences obtained without en-
countering a land cost so inflated as
to exclude the possibility of spending
enough or housing to secure wholesome
accommoia tions.
Odinalily 4 town must produce 5
per cent ca the current value of its
underlying land; Letchworth. how
ever. need produce only per cent on
the original cost in 1903. when the
land was in farms, plus the cost OF
streets, sewers. etc. The unearned in
crement is there, but Letchworth pays
no tribute to 1t. No matter how big
or rich the town may grow, no mat
ter how its paying power may in
crease. there will be no private land
owners to mark up their prices to the
limit Of the paying power of the in
coming population. In effect. Letch-
worth enjoys public ownership of all
normal rates for its use. but returning
the proceeds to the people in the form
of service.
There are over fifty similar new viii
lagos in England now. None is 50
large as Letchworth, but all are
founded on the same proved principle
of forestalling the lend boom and cap
turing and conserving for the COM
munity the increase in land values
which follows the influx of popula-
tion.
