National Lumber Bankrupt

National Lumber & Supply Inc., Fountain Valley, Ca., is restocking its l5 remaining stores and continuing operations while it restructures under Chapter 1 I bankruptcy protection.

Additional financing of $2.1 million from its principal lender Fidelcor Business Credit Corp. came through shortly after the company filed for Chapter I I protection April 3. Prior to that the company had held a meeting of creditors, formed a creditor committee, and closed six stores and a distribution center.

In its bankruptcy filing, National Lumber listed its secured debt as $13.3 million with other liabilities of $24 million.

Las Vegas Lumber Embargo

Lumber continues to roll into Las Vegas, Nv., while Union Pacific and city oflicials negotiate on fire safety conditions which had threatened to shut off lumber supplies.

James Lumber Co., Savage Industries and Sandlin Lumber Co., all located on Union Pacific property at the downtown rail yard, are looking for new sites. "We're trying to come up with a temporary solution that would satisfy the city and allow lumber suppliers to keep accepting shipments," said John Bromley, a Union Pacific spokesman in Omaha, Ne.

The railroad and the three lumber companies were cited by the Las Vegas Fire Department for operating without city permits and without enough water for fire fighting. The railroad, which is seeking a new location, complained that the citations were unreasonable since it would take an investment of as much as $1.5 million to bring the current yard up to code.

They then threatened to stop delivering lumber to Las Vegas. About 80-900/o of the area's lumber arrives via UP rail cars.

The city and the railroad are working on a temporary plan to bring the yard up to code until they locate a new site for storage facilities. Some of the violations cited have existed since 1988 but were not enforced since the Union Pacific was expected to relocate to North Las Vegas, a spokesman said. The city plans a commercial development for the downtown site Union Pacific now occupies.

New Glen Oak Plant

A new plant using a company developed veneer wrapping process has been opened by Glen Oak Lumber and Milling at its Montello, Wi., headquarters.

Following a fire at their facility a year and a half ago, company president Tom Talbot began work on the new process. Housed in a new 20,000 square foot building, with an

8,000 square foot addition planned for this spring, the facility has two production lines.

One is a veneer line using rotary veneer that wraps and makes door jambs up to lxl2. It can also produce lumber veneered in oak up to 16 feet long. The use of birch, pine and lauan veneer is planned. The substrate is 100% hardwood particleboard.

A second line producing S4S hardwood is slated to be operational in June. The plant manager is Buz Smoots, formerly with Diamond Lands. Red Bluff. Ca.
