Local Offtcer Authorized to Establish Retail Ceilings on Wood ltems

As part of its program for obtaining more effective control over prices for building materials and combination services, the Office of Price Administration has authorized its regional administrators to establish dollar-and-cent ceiling prices for softwood lumber, shingles and hardwood flooring sold by retail dealers in the areas within their jurisdiction.

The action became effective December 26, 1945.

Dollar-and-cent ceiling prices will be provided, OPA said, for retail sales by lumber distribution yards, and will permit home owners, repair men and building contractors to see readily what ceiling prices for lumber are when they make purchases.

Up to now, distribution yard ceiling prices for softwood lumber were provided by a formula which made it difficult for consumers to calculate ceiling prices for themselves. The new regional orders will translate the formula prices into plain dollar figures which will appear on posters which consumers can consult.

Since last August, pilot work in establishing dollar-andcent ceiling prices for lumber items in the field has been under way in the Chicago district area.

The experience gained in the Chicago district area operations is to serve as a guide in field pricing in other regions, OPA said.

(Revised General Order No. 65-Authority to Fix Community Dollar-and-Cent Ceiling Prices on Distribution Yard Sales of Softwood Lumber-effective December 26. 1945.)
