Medford's xrxin Comer
Mill Burner Lifted
And Enlarged; Four
Lift Trucks Used
An unusual method was used
recently by Medford Blow Pipe
company to increase by appro
imatly 20 per cent the capacity
of a saw mill burner owned by
Bate Lumber company in Mer
lin. . The burner, an air-cooled mod
el having a rated capacity of
140,000 board feet for one shift
a day, was being taxed severely
by the mill's average product
ion of 200,000 board feet on a
day shift and 100,000 board feet
on a night shift. 1
It was imperative that a lar
ger burner be installed, if poss
ible, with no lost time to the
mill operation.
Sam- Job 'Don.-' ;'- - "-
Knowing that Medford Blow
Pipe last summer increased , the
capacity of a similar burner
owned by -Olson-Ross Lumber
company. White - City C. - L.
Lindquist, manager of the Bate
Lumber company, contacted the
local firm. - -
During a week' when the mill
was down for annual repairs,
Medford Blow Pipe raised the
Bate Lumber company s burn
er approximately 13 feet by
means of four, lift trucks, and
installed a new course of sheets
and a base ring on a three-foot
high concrete foundation. -1
The concrete ' f oundatiorf ring
was poured prior to raising of
me Durner. j our openings were
left for ' entrance of the lift
trucks. '' v
The burner was increased
from 67 feet to 73 feet in diam
eter, and 13 feet in height. The
weight of the; burner was about
64,000 pounds.; All lifting was

Eston :: Humphrey , treasurer,
said that $31,693.90 remains to
be collected from ' this - year's
pledges. He added - that last
year's loss due to cancelled or
unpaid pledges was 2.91 per cent,
or less than the national average
of 3.2 per cent ..

and campaign expenses were
within the budgeted amounts,
he said, v
Will Pay Agency ;

member agencies the full bud
geted amounts due for the sec
ond quarter of the fiscal year,

ter payments were less than the
budgeted amounts, since at that
time the goal had not been met.
The deficiency will be made up
in the February payment. This
will be the first time in many
years that it' will be possible
to pay the agencies the - full
amounts pledged them. -- ;
Plans-were made for the an-
done by the four lift trucks, and
two cranes were used as safety
measures.. , , ..

ter part 'of March.' UMC Presi
