Establishment of maximum prices for sales of all standing timber in the western states west of the great plains-an action designed to restrain rising timber prices and further stabilize present ceilings for logs, lumber and other forest products-was announced August 25 by the OPfice of Price Administration.

Ceiling prices are provided for all timber-both publicly and privately owned.

The new ceilings are established in Maximum Price Regulation No. 460 (Western timber), and became effective August 31, 1943. Until the issuance of the present regulation, there was no price control on either publicly owned or privately owned timber.

"ft was at first hoped that price control at the mill, wholesale distribution yard and retail dealer levels would keep the price of timber from advancing beyond the level of profitable purchase by lumber producers. But since 1941, when lumber price control began, advancing prices of stumpage have been making difficult the road for the lumber producers," OPA said.
