"Borgana"--a By-Product of Red Cedar Regulations Governing FHA Insurance on Shingle Manufacturing

Initial production on a new type of steam boiler treatment which is made as a by-product of Red Cedar Shingle manufacturing has begun at the Chemical Division of the Portland 'shingle Company, Portland, Oregon.

Privately Constructed Military Housing

Commissioner Franklin D. Richards, Federal Housing Administration today a.nnounced rules and regulations governing FHA insurance on privately constructed military housing have been signed and are in the inail today to all field offices and approved mortgages.

The new act, designed to assist in relieving housing shortages affecting both civilian and military employees of the national military establishments throughout the country, amends the National Housing Act by adding to it a new Title VIII which makes special provision for FHA insurance of mortgages on rental housing to be built by private capital for these employees and their families.

Allred H. Schmidl

Alfred H. Schmidt, president of the Portland Shingle Company, said, "further utilization of Cedar logs in shingle mills has added new importance to the Western Red Cedar shingle industry." Further utilization of the Red Cedar logs has been a project of the Research Department of the Portland Shingle Company for the past year. Other products in addition to the boiler treatment will be announced shortly.

Initial development and field testing on the boiler treatment, named "Borgana," 'was done by Guy J. Bailey, who has been associated with the steam boiler industry for more than 40 years. Mr. Bailey is now serving in the capacitv of technical advisor on boiler treatment for the Chemical Division of Portland Shingle Company.

During the past two-year testing period Borgana has been successfully used in food processing plants, lumber mills, ships and many types of plants where live steam is used for process work.

Borgana has proved successful in cleaning boiler and steam systems and also providing a protective treatment which prevents scale, corrosion and other accumulations. The boiler treatment has been used in stationary, portable and marine boilers. Scale and corrosion from salt contamination has also been effectively treated.

Borgana comes in a liquid form and is applied directly into boiler drums or taken through feed pumps or injectors. which will not clog. It is chemically neutral and contains no active caustics or acids.

The Borgana pilot plant at the present time is producing 50 barrels a day and is being packaged in 55 gallon drums.

Insurance under Title VIII parallels that currentl-v available under Section 608 and provides for insuran'ce of a maximum mortgage of $5,000,000, representing not more than 90 per cent of replacement costs and not more than $8,100 per family unit except that where the need will be better served by single-family dwelling units the mortgage principal may be as much as $9,000 per family unit. The interest rate may not exceed 4/o.

Color Booklets Avcrilcrble to Dealers

E. L. Bruce Co. offers a series of five, full color booklets to dealers rvishing to promote Bruce flooring.

The attractive new literature is profusely illustrated with photographs showing professionally designed room settings with hardwood block floors and conventional hardwood strip flooring. One piece features factory finished flooring. The booklets are available in two sizes; both are designed to be handed out to customers in the store and the smaller size makes dn efiective direct mail enclosure.

Dealers may ohtain imprinted copies by writing E. L. Rruce Co., Box 397, Memphis 1, Tenn. There is no charge for this material.

Mass production of the boiler treatment will be undertaken in the very near future.

Schmidt further stated that, "there is enough raw material that is now being burned to produce enough boiler treatment to supply a major portion of the steam boilers throughout the country."
