Amendment 32 to MPR 348-Iogs and Bolts

A ceiling price of $25 per 1,000 feet, log scale, for "woods run" grade alder, maple and ash logs produced in Oregon and Washington west of the crest of the Cascade Mountains was announced by the Office of Price Administration today.

The new ceiling price is approximately 8 per cent below the current level at which logs of the three species are selling in the area but at a level approximately 15 per cent higher than the September-October 1942 base period level.

A maximum price of $17 per 1,000 feet, log scale, is established for cottonwood logs produced in the two States west of the Cascades. This new ceiling price brings no change in current cottonwood log prices in the area.

Sales of alder, maple, ash and cottonlvood logs by most producers in the territory had been exempt from price control pending issuance of the ceilings announced today.
