Ycrd Prices Softwood Shingles qnd Lumber Frozen at December I Levels

'The Office of Price Administration has "frozen" at December l, 1945, levels the ceiling prices distribution yards may charge for Western Softwood shingles and Northern Softrvood lumber.

The action became effective January 22, 1946.

f)etails of the "freeze" are as follows:

Maximum prices which retail distribution yards may charge on sales of Northern Softwood and Western Cedar shingles lumber must be computed from the maximttm prices ior mill sales in effect December 1, 1945.

For sales by wholesale distribution yards and in rvholesale-type sales by retail yards, however, distribution yards may continue to pass through to buyers any mill price increases becoming effective after December 1, 1945.

Immediate effect of the "freeze" is to. require retail distribution yards on most sales to absorb mill price increases of $2 per 1,000 board feet for Northern Softwood lumber, and h cerrts per square for Western Softwood shingles.
