Northwest Port To Expand

Logs and lumber being exported to Pacific Rim countries now make the trip one day faster when shipment begins at Grays Harbor, Wa.

Last year the port exported 2.8 million metric tons of lumber and logs. A $77 million project to widen and deepen the channel is expected to expand this figure. Work, which will begin in late 1987, will involve 23 miles of waterway and replacement or relocation of a74 year old Union Pacific Railroad bridge.

New ICC Credit Regulations

Carriers are now able to set their own credit terms under Interstate Commerce Commission credit rules. Under the new regulations, a carrier can extend shippers up to 15 days free credit plus up to another 15 days of credit if the shipper pays a penalty charge.

South & West Lead ln Growth

U.S. metropolitan area growth was the most rapid in the West and the South between 1980 and 1984, according to the Census Bureau.

Populations of 55 of the 277 U.S. metro areas increased by at least l09o during the last four years. Florida, Texas and California claim the majority of these cities with Midland, Tx., Anchorage, Ak., and Naples, Fl., showing the most growth.

Houston, Tx., is the eighth largest metropolitan area in the U.S., easing out Washington, D.C., which is now in ninth place.

U.N. Forms Timber Group

In an effort to control the destruction of the world's tropical timber reserves, 26 timber producing and consuming nations have formed the International Tropical Timber Organization under the sponsorship of the United Nations.

The U.S. and Soviet Union are not members as yet of the group. Twelve timber producing countries and 14 consumer nations have joined.

Tropical woods are vanishing at a rate of about 3l million acres each year in the producing nations. The organization hopes to establish forest management programs in the Third World countries. Only 4.4V0 of the world's forests are considered managed forests.
