PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. — The B.C. Forest Service
may be cheating itself out of, millions of dollars by using
obsolete data in its complex stumpage fee calculations for
timber cutting rights.

“Estimates are bound to “be low considering the
modernization which has gone on in the last three years,”
said Al MacPherson, deputy minister of forests. “I know the
figures are out of date, but I don’t know how far.”

The Forest Service's estimates are based on mill
efficiency — how much lumber can be made from each log —
before the forest industry spent more than $2 billion

The extra 1.4 board feet of lumber isn't included in
stumpage. It’s free wood.

“If you knew what the mill recovery factor was for each
mill — the cubic metre volume coming across the weigh scale
compared with the lumber tally on the flat car going out of
town — I think you'd be surprised,” said Gould

But he said he doubts any mill's rating would be as high

announces mass layoff

MIAMI (AP) — Financially
troubled Eastern Airlines
announced Tuesday $160
million US in cuts to save
money, including the layoff of
1,534 employees across the
United States

The layoffs will take effect
Sept. 19, reducing the

carrier's work force to
39,800. The airline lost $154.7
million US in the first half of
1986.

Eastern. president Joseph
Leonard said notices went
out to employees Tuesday
morning

The announcement coin
cided with fresh concern
about the future of Eastern,
one of the largest and most
heavily indebted airlines in
the U.S.

Houston-based Texas Air
Corp. agreed to buy Eastern
in February for $676 million
US, but last month the U.S.
Department of Transporta
tion objected to the merger.

Laying off the workers will
save Eastern about $54 mil

said. About one-third of those
workers receiving notices
will be managers.

Twothirds of the $160
million US saved each year
will “be realized through
more efficient processes and
the trimming or elimination
of a wide range of goods and
services the carrier pur
chases,” Leonard said

At Eastern’s Miami base,
484 employees — including
189 management employees

will be laid off, the com.
pany said. In addition, 150
non-contract hourly workers
will lose their jobs as well as

Workers, 15 flight attendants
