A* A. .layer - Ardmore Prnh lnw ra, -* After the discussion you had with the J-M people, Thursday, the 25th, you asked that I check certain matters. Under date of June 4th, Bob Smith as Secretary of the Eestwall Gypsum Jompany wrote Joe *-&rian that Beetwall would allow 15/ per cwt on ail board shipment out of kron onto .uong -aland, "ew fork cn and aftor June 1, 1963. This excluded plaster roods but did inolude Joint System materials mixed with board and also in straight shipments. further, tnis included the Lorouc^is of ErooKlyn and Mueens at the -.e stern end of the Island but not the other Jorouqhs of :.ow York ' Oity. Inis 15/ per cwt allowance was to be down on the face of the invoice, Beetwall to J-M, on shipments crat qualified for it. I do not think we need to do any more since the letter indicated the allowance would continue until further notice. It is not qualified as to the method of shipment or to the quantity. Insoiar as trie -.365 . er cwt charge is concerned, it Is questionable to _ncist ti*ey ;-ay penalty cn all over the 000,000 square feet per month unless the V crjoany is prepared vith the maximum limitation to say w.-.at hcstwall v.'ould snip no more after that unless J-M agreed to this .ayment.

PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT SGP 0002436 Ch H 2 How, since J-K insist they vvill only pay their pro-rata chare on the material snipped in, 1 think in addition to the v3&5 per owt freight penalty lestvall v/ould be entitled to and should charge ;2.50 per thousand for warehousing and handling at Wilmington. his charge to J-.-i should be suraraarixed in one invoice billed to -H by the plant on about the 10th of the .aonth for the month previous and should be made to the Johns-i'ianvilie bales Corporation* Hew fork District -.ales office since the footage involved ;:ould be shipped into zha ..ew fork istrict of '-i-i. fhe v36S would be on uei^at - the ^2.p0 would be on surface measure.
