Portland's Record Shipment

The largest single shipment of lumber from the Port of Portland was recently loaded aboard a ship en route for Japan.

Fifteen million board feet - topping the previous record by two millionwas loaded aboard the Hoegh Line auto transport Sept. 23.

The charter company, Pacific Commerce Line, had had huge shipments before, but never access to a large enough ship.

The shipment included lumber irom about 20 exporters, including Pacific Lumber & Shipping, Stimson Trading Co. and Weyerhaeuser Co.

The trip to Japan with lumber is only one leg of a round-the-world business trip for the ship. After arriving in Japan, it will leave for Europe with Japanese automobiles, set out for the U.S. East Coast with European cars, and sail empty to the West Coast to gather more lumber.

Economy Steady Into 199Os

The U.S. economy should exPand moderately into the 1990s amid the threat of potential economic problems, predicted a group of business leaders.

In a meeting sponsored bY the Conference Board business organization, executives identified the dangers as the U.S. trade and budget deficits, trade protectionism, Possible debt default by less developed countries, and the growth of corporate debt in highly leveraged transactions, which could threaten some companies in a recession.

Economists expect interest rates to rise above the current 9% level, inflation to climb above the 4.40lo rate, and the economy to grow bY 3 to 4% this next year.

"l've never been as optimistic as I am now taking a long range view," said Sears Roebuck and Co. president Richard Jones.

Wood Finish Rules Adopted

Responding to protests from the industry, the South Coast Air Quality Management District board of directors has adopted a compromise rule designed to cut air pollution from wood finishing in the [-os Angeles, Ca., basin.

One of the biggest reductions in recent years, 93%, is expected. "This rule will eliminate 20 tons of hydrocarbon emissions that form ozone. the number one air pollution health threat," said Norton Younglove, chairman of AQMD board of directors.

The adopted regulation will not impose major costs and will not cause loss of jobs, Younglove claimed. Use of low solvent coatings and cleanup fluids is expected to cut down on the risk of fire and lower insurance bills in the industry. Cumulative emissions of ozone-forming hydrocarbons are expected to be cut from 22 tons to 2 tons a day by adopting the regulations on a phased-in basis.

Furniture makers will be required to use more efficient spray equipment to cut down on the amount of coating used and thus on smog forming fumes; to wash equipment and store cleaning rags and fluids in covered containers, use low polluting cleaning solvents and over the next eight years change to water based coatings that do not emit significant amounts of hydrocarbons.

New Denver Firm

Den-Pack Building Materials, Denver, Co., has been opened by Jerry Burglund and Tom Kostelecky, the former president of the now closed Denver Wood Products, Denver.

A veteran of Denver Wood Products for 20 years, Kostelecky opened Den-Pack on a nine-acre site which includes a 10,000 sq. ft. truss plant and 12,000 sq. ft. prehung door shop previously operated by a home building company.

Founded in 1945, Denver Wood Products was purchased by Southwestern General, Golden, Co., in 1985 and recently saw the troubled Denver economy cut its $40 milliona-year business to $20 million, according to assignment agent James R. Brandt.

To repay Denver Wood Products' debts, a neutral assignment firm will liquidate the assets, including a truss plant, door manufacturing plant, pallet business and lumberyard.
